Incoming Exchange Students

Study Abroad at Adelphi University in New York is open to exchange students from Adelphi Exchange Partners. Exchange students continue to pay their home school tuition and fees and are responsible to pay for their airfare, room and board at Adelphi, and personal expenses. The Center for International Education assists exchange students with course placement, housing and immigration documents. Interested students should consult with their home university exchange coordinator to be nominated. Once a student is nominated, the CIE will send additional application instructions.
