What is Bates off campus study fee?

Excuse me, could you please elaborate on the Bates off-campus study fee? I'm trying to understand if this is a mandatory charge for students who wish to pursue studies outside of the university's main campus, or if it's an optional fee that covers specific services or programs. Additionally, I'm curious about the breakdown of this fee and whether there are any scholarships or financial aid options available to offset the cost for students who may find it difficult to afford. Could you provide more details on this matter?
