JUC offers these payment plans for eligible students:

1. The Three Payment Plan allows for the student to make three equal payments throughout the semester of study.
2. The Deferred Payment Plan is a no-interest plan with scheduled monthly installments that begin after the student graduates from their home institution (Semester Abroad students) or start at $50 per month, increasing to $200 upon graduation or withdrawal of a program (graduate students).
3. The Title IV Grant Matching program gives students of our Associated Schools matching funds for Title IV grants they would have received from their home institution.

Students from countries who do not have a regular relationship with Israel may need additional security or immigration approval to study in Israel. Students from such countries may be responsible to apply for a visa at their nearest Israeli Consulate or Embassy, or JUC may need to apply on their behalf at the Ministry of Interior in Jerusalem. Visa decisions are entirely at the discretion of the Ministry of Interior, so JUC cannot guarantee that you will be able to obtain a visa successfully. Please contact us if you are from a country that does not have a regular relationship with Israel and have questions about this process.

Please note: if you plan to participate in the Jordan Extension and you are required to secure an entry visa into Israel prior to the start of the program, you MUST request and be granted a visa allowing multiple entries into Israel.

All on-campus housing is dormitory style with bathrooms located separate from the dorm rooms.

Undergraduate students are required to live on campus. Graduate students are encouraged to live their first semester on campus at JUC. If they choose, they may find off-campus housing for their subsequent semesters.

Married students may also live on campus at JUC if space is available (the spouse of a full-time student living on campus is charged board only). Students with children may also apply to live on campus as space is available. Children 6 years and under may live in their parents' dorm room at no additional cost. Families with children 7 and older may have the option to acquire a second dorm room at an additional cost). Click here for more details about campus housing.
