Costs and Duration
Pre-College and Gap Year is not one program but two separate pathways, and they do not cost the same because they are not built the same way.
The 18+ pathway, oriented toward university entry and progression, runs semester-length or year-long: the term rates further down apply, and per-credit tuition is charged only when the student asks for credit recognition and an academic partnership is in place. Courses carry 3 US/Canadian credits each when credit is requested.
The 15-17 pathway is reserved for school cohorts travelling with their own teachers and runs from one week upward: the weekly housing and meal rates apply, academic and welfare responsibility for the minors stays with the accompanying teacher and the sending school, and the International Office prepares the quotation for the group.
School cohorts (15-17), from one week, all year in Mantua
The Mantua campus hosts school cohorts all year round, which makes spring and autumn travel possible. At the Florence central campus weekly stays run in the June to August sessions, with the rates below. In Milan and Turin accommodation is arranged with partner residences and quoted on your dates.

In tuition-reciprocal programs, a designated number of students may participate on a tuition-free basis. In other cases, hybrid arrangements may apply, where some students are enrolled as tuition-reciprocal participants while others attend as fee-paying (free-mover) students and are therefore subject to the per-credit cost. Additional partnership models may also provide for customized fee structures. Students are required to confirm with both Unicollege and their home institution which tuition model applies to their specific study abroad program.

Financial Aid and Accessibility
Financial Aid and Accessibility
As a higher education institution, and not a third-party study abroad provider, Unicollege is committed to promoting sustainable and accessible study abroad opportunities across all its programs. Through its university-to-university partnerships, Unicollege supports the applicability and continuity of financial aid awarded by the home institution.
This may include, where eligible, forms of aid such as Title IV funding, Pell Grants, federal or state aid, institutional scholarships, and other recognized funding mechanisms, in accordance with the policies of the home university.
Participating students, faculty, and staff are required to verify directly with their home institution which types of financial aid can be applied to their study abroad program. Unicollege will facilitate all necessary documentation and administrative processes to support the continuation of eligible funding.
