Summer Exchange Programs
The summer semester can be the most convenient time to study abroad: fewer courses are offered on UNF's campus, and it can be nice to escape the Jacksonville heat! Our summer study abroad programs allow students to take three to six credit hours taught in English at our international partner institutions. Students also have the opportunity to participate in a Summer A and a Summer B program in order to earn up to 12 credits and spend more time immersed in other cultures.
Contact us for more information or visit us in Coggin College of Business (Bldg. 42), Room 1104.

Payment Process
About the Student Cost
Each summer study abroad has costs associated with the services that are part of the program, including student lodging, business and/or cultural visits and excursions, entry fees, international health insurance, etc. Students are responsible for paying these costs directly to the partner school or the company/organization providing the service. Sometimes this is completed via credit card, sometimes via international wire transfer. Students will receive instructions from their host institution regarding these costs and the best way to pay them.
UNF Tuition and Fees
Students pay UNF for their summer tuition and fees instead of paying tuition to their host university. This payment process is handled the same way as if the student were staying at UNF for the summer term. See the UNF Controller's Office webpage for tuition and fees for more information. Students may also contact UNF Student Financial Services in Hicks Hall.
Mandatory Pre-Departure and Re-Entry Sessions
Students who participate in Coggin Summer Exchange Programs are required to attend pre-departure and re-entry sessions that bookend their independent study abroad experiences. The pre-departure orientations cover topics such as academics abroad, grade/credit transfer, financial aid, scholarships, safety, intercultural adaptation, logistics, and travel tips. Upon return, the re-entry workshop address reverse culture shock, how to identify competencies, adding study abroad to a resume, and leveraging study abroad experiences during job or graduate school applications. These mandatory session take place on the following dates:
- Friday, March 7, 2025 (9 AM-12 PM)
- Friday, April 4, 2025 (9 AM-12 PM)
- Friday, August/September TBD, 2025
