Financial matters
Student fees
You will pay your tuition and fees to UNB while you are on your exchange.
Some institutions may require you to pay additional fees for some services, such as a registration fee or your ID card. This varies for every partner university. Contact them to inquire for additional fees.
Cost structure for UNB LEAPS is determined by partner university and the fees can vary by amount and what’s included. You do not pay UNB tuition and fees for LEAPS programming.
Living costs
You are responsible for organizing and paying for your accommodation. We recommend that you design a budget. Keep these expenses in mind:
- food
- textbooks

- souvenirs
Passport and study permit
You will need a valid passport for international travel. You may also need to apply for a Visa or Permit depending on the host countries requirements. This can vary depending on your passport, destination country, length of time in host country, reason in country, etc. The partner universities may also assist with questions on these requirements.
In some cases, you may be required to visit the embassy or consulate of your host country, in Toronto, Montreal or Ottawa. If this is the case, you will be responsible for your flight, transportation and overnight stay.
Travel costs
You are responsible for all travel costs.
Before making any travel plans, make sure you are accepted to your host institution. You can research airfares before receiving this confirmation to have an idea of what to expect.
You can also reach out to a travel agency which specializes in student travel as they can usually provide competitive prices.
Insurance
All UNB students participating in a UNB Global program are required to obtain Student VIP Backpack Insurance for the duration of their time abroad. More information is provided to students upon acceptance.
