Notes:

1. The application fee is a one-time charge and is non-refundable.
2. These tuition rates apply to ALCI International Students. Students admitted to a Clark University degree program with an ESL requirement pay $1600 tuition per ESL course.
3. The materials fee covers the cost of standardized texts, photocopies, audio/video cassettes in class and on reserve, computer programs, and various other in-class and teacher materials. It does not cover textbooks. The cost of books is an estimate; the actual cost of books may vary.
4. The room rate quoted is based on a double room (08-09 prices). A single room is more expensive. Room prices are subject to change.
5. The meal rates quoted are estimates and depend on whether the student chooses a meal plan or makes other arrangements for meals. Meal plans range from $1,075 to $1,375/semester (08/09 prices). Meal plans are not offered during the summer sessions.
6. Health Insurance is required for students without private insurance. The cost quoted is for one full year. Students enrolling for the Spring pay a reduced fee. Health insurance is not offered only for the summer sessions. The cost of health insurance is subject to change.
7. The Total Costs are used to calculate the amount of money necessary for your Letter of Financial Guarantee (LFG). See below for detailed information about the LFG.

TOTAL COSTS AND THE LETTER OF FINANCIAL GUARANTEE (LFG)
An LFC is usually a letter from a bank showing that you (or your sponsor) have sufficient funds to pay all of your education and living costs while you are in the United States. The amount of money shown on the LFG must be more than enough to cover all of these expenses in order for the University to issue you a Form I-20 (student visa application).

Use the following guide to determine the minimum amount your letter must show.
