      Or

Please contact Ran Zhao in the Department of Middle Eastern & South Asian Languages & Cultures if you have questions.

Application Procedures

  • Submit the UVA application for approval by April 1. (There is no final submit button, but all items must be received by the deadline.)
  • As a Direct Credit program, note that you will not need to submit the Transfer Credit Approval form; please disregard this requirement as it will be marked as "not applicable" after you open an application.
  • Completed applications are reviewed by the ISO on a rolling basis, and you will be notified when your completed application has been reviewed.
  • If required, no approval or disciplinary forms will be submitted to Huayu Best until your UVA application has been approved.  Approval to this program does not guarantee admission to the university, only the right to receive academic credit for participating in this program.  
  • You must also apply to the program directly on Huayu Best's website (see the button above) by their listed deadline.  You must secure full admission and housing through our partner National Chengchi University's Huayu Best to fully participate in the program, and receive academic credit for this experience.   
  • If approved, you will also be responsible for completing the ISO’s pre-departure process. 

Passport and Visa

All participants will need a valid passport in order to participate in the program. Students must ensure that their passport is valid throughout the duration of stay. US passport holders will not need a visa to participate in this program, as a visa is not required for a stay of less than 90 days. International students should meet with their International Student Advisor in the International Studies Office as part of the application process.

Expected Expenses

Tuition and Fees: You will pay the program’s tuition and fees directly to the program sponsor. Program tuition and fees are found on the program or university’s website or brochure. You will also be charged a $500 Study Abroad Administrative fee, which is posted to SIS once you have committed to participating in a non-UVA study abroad program. 
 
Housing and Meals: You are responsible for paying for accommodation and any required or preferred meal plan. You will pay the program or university; check the program web site for accommodation and meal descriptions, cost, and application procedures. 
 
Travel and Travel Documents (Visas and Passports): For many programs, you are responsible for booking and paying for your own international airfare as well as researching and obtaining the necessary visa. Check the program website for details. You should also budget for in-country transportation costs if applicable. 
 
Insurance: UVA students are required to purchase CISI emergency medical and accident insurance. Students participating in certain programs are exempt from this requirement. More information can be found on the Insurance page. 
 
Additional Expenses: You should be prepared to purchase required books and supplies. You should also budget for additional personal expenses; examples include laundry, phone costs, personal travel, meals out, etc.
