The published cost of attendance is for the nine-month period from early September, when classes begin for the academic year, to early-May, when they end. These fees do not include expenses during summer, winter, or spring breaks. Figures are for the year listed only. Students should expect annual increases for tuition and fees.

All exchange students are required to live on campus. Housing costs are calculated using the cost for a room with one roommate in a traditional style hall. To see a full list of housing options and fees please visit Carroll University's Housing Options page.

Per the exchange agreement between Carroll University and Lingnan University, housing costs up to the amount listed are waived for incoming exchange students. Students from Lingnan University who have selected a more expensive housing option will be responsible for the difference in price. Refunds will not be given for housing placements in less expensive housing choices. Please see the Lingnan University Exchange Partnership Housing Policy for more information.

Food costs are calculated using the cost for two semesters of the Gold Meal Plan, which includes 15 meals per week and $200 in Dining Dollars to be used at Carroll University food service locations per semester. To learn more about Meal Plan options please visit Carroll University's Resident Dining page.

Insurance costs are determined by the premiums associated with Carroll University's mandatory International Student Health Insurance plan. Please note that any student’s utilizing our partnership with StudyUSA is not required to purchase the health insurance plan, as it will be provided through StudyUSA.
