Students will need a check to pay for tuition, housing, and miscellaneous fees the first day of class each term. (ELCI teachers simply check a box to bill ELIC for these expenses.) Books are purchased in July for the entire academic year (two terms) and credit cards may be used at the University Bookstore. Non-ELIC teachers pay a $100 fee to ELIC in terms two to cover costs of hosting classes in Thailand (cash or check only). Credit cards may be used, but there is now a three percent charge for this, and it must be done online, so we recommend you bring a check.
