COURSE FEES

Many courses get you out of the classroom and into museums and cultural centers where you will view or experience what you are studying. Some of these courses carry fees for field trips, site visits, activities, or supplies that are an integral part of the course. Please carefully review the Fall 2026 fees on the course fee sheet and also share it with your parents/guardians if they are financially responsible for your fees. More information can also be found on our website.

If you register for any course with a mandatory field trip on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, you are expected to participate- check the calendar here. Do not plan personal travel until you get to Florence and know when you may be required to take part in any class-related study tours, all-program trips, make-up classes, exam periods, and other academic commitments.
