About DIS - Study Abroad in Scandinavia

DIS – Study Abroad in Scandinavia is a non-profit educational organization that partners with many North American universities to provide semester, year, and summer study abroad programs in Copenhagen and Stockholm. It offers a wide range of English-taught courses across disciplines such as humanities, sciences, social sciences, pre-health, engineering, business, and more, often combined with course-integrated study tours and experiential learning throughout Scandinavia and Europe.([haverford.edu](https://www.haverford.edu/study-abroad/programs/program-details/dis-study-abroad-scandinavia?utm_source=openai))

A charge from DIS – Study Abroad in Scandinavia on your card is typically related to program fees, housing and non-academic program costs, deposits, or other study-abroad-related payments, which can sometimes be processed via online payment portals or services like PayPal in USD. Students (or parents/guardians) may see charges for application fees, tuition portions billed directly to DIS, housing, study tours, or visa-related fees, depending on how DIS and the home institution split billing responsibilities.([disabroad.org](https://disabroad.org/tuition-and-fees/?utm_source=openai))

If you have questions about a DIS charge, log into your DIS student portal or check billing information shared by your home university’s study abroad or international programs office, which often coordinates payments with DIS. Compare the amount and date with invoices or cost sheets you received; many universities publish DIS budget sheets and note which components are paid directly to DIS versus through the university.([disabroad.org](https://disabroad.org/tuition-and-fees/?utm_source=openai)) If something still doesn’t match, contact DIS using the billing contact information on disabroad.org or reach out to your school’s study abroad office, which can confirm program fees, due dates, and whether the transaction is legitimate or needs to be disputed with your card issuer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a PayPal*DISSTUDYABR charge on my card statement?

This usually indicates a payment made to DIS – Study Abroad in Scandinavia for study abroad costs such as deposits, program fees, housing, or other billed items, processed via PayPal or DIS’s online payment system. Check your DIS invoice and student portal for any recent payments that match the date and amount of the charge.

What types of fees does DIS typically bill directly to students or families?

Depending on the agreement with your home university, DIS may bill you directly for some or all of housing, non-academic program costs (such as study tours and local transportation), visa-related fees, and sometimes application fees or deposits, while tuition may be billed by your university. Review your DIS invoice and your university’s published DIS cost sheet for a breakdown of which items are paid directly to DIS.

How can I confirm what a specific DIS charge amount corresponds to?

Log into your DIS student registration or billing portal and compare the charge amount to your latest invoice or payment history. Universities such as Wisconsin, Emory, and others publish detailed DIS budget sheets listing expected program, housing, and out-of-pocket costs; matching your charge to these line items often clarifies its purpose.([my.studyabroad.wisc.edu](https://my.studyabroad.wisc.edu/CostSheet/Index/438195?utm_source=openai))

How do I request a refund or correction for a DIS billing error?

Start by contacting DIS using the billing or finance contact information provided on the DIS tuition and fees or billing FAQ pages, and include your full name, program term, invoice number, and proof of payment. You can also loop in your home institution’s study abroad or financial specialist if they coordinate payments to DIS; they can help verify what should have been billed and advocate on your behalf if an adjustment or refund is needed.([disabroad.org](https://disabroad.org/tuition-and-fees/?utm_source=openai))

Does DIS use recurring or installment billing for study abroad fees?

DIS typically invoices students or institutions once per term for the confirmed program fee and related costs, with payment due before arrival; this is not a subscription service, but you may see multiple payments if you pay in installments or if both your university and DIS bill you for different portions of the total cost. Review your billing schedule in DIS communications and your university’s study abroad materials to see when each payment is expected.([disabroad.org](https://disabroad.org/tuition-and-fees/?utm_source=openai))

Can DIS place temporary authorization holds or small test charges on my card?

When paying online by credit or debit card, your bank or the payment processor may place a temporary authorization hold to verify funds before the payment posts. These holds may appear as pending charges associated with DIS or PayPal and should drop off automatically if they are not finalized; if a hold remains for more than a few business days, contact your card issuer and verify the transaction in your DIS payment history.

How do I cancel my participation so I no longer get billed by DIS?

To avoid future charges, you must follow DIS’s official cancellation policies, which are outlined in their billing and tuition information and may include deadlines and cancellation fees. Notify both DIS and your home university’s study abroad office in writing as early as possible; they will confirm your withdrawal, explain any non-refundable amounts, and issue updated invoices or credits as applicable.([disabroad.org](https://disabroad.org/tuition-and-fees/?utm_source=openai))

Who should I contact if I don’t recognize a DIS charge but a family member is studying abroad?

First, check with the student to see if they recently paid a DIS deposit, housing, or program fee using your card or a shared PayPal account. If they didn’t, contact DIS using the billing contact email or phone number from disabroad.org with the transaction date and amount, and also alert your card issuer; DIS and your university’s study abroad office can confirm whether the payment corresponds to an active student account or if it may be fraudulent.
