ذكذكتسئµ students may choose to participate in study abroad programs that are not sponsored by ذكذكتسئµ. While these programs offer many exciting opportunities, they require careful planning and advance approval. Below is an overview of how non-ذكذكتسئµ study abroad programs typically work.
Option 1: Program Bills ذكذكتسئµ
Many non-ذكذكتسئµ programs are able to bill ذكذكتسئµ directly. In this case, students apply for approval through the Non-ذكذكتسئµ Program application in Horizons. Approval includes a review of GPA and student conduct status.
Once the total program cost is known, students receive a Terms & Conditions form outlining financial responsibilities. Eligible state and federal financial aid may be applied, but ذكذكتسئµ-specific institutional aid cannot be used. Students should also expect additional ذكذكتسئµ service and insurance fees.
While abroad, students are registered for placeholder credits to maintain full-time enrollment at ذكذكتسئµ. After the program ends and an official transcript is received, those placeholder credits are replaced with the actual courses and grades, which appear on the ذكذكتسئµ transcript as transfer credit.
Option 2: Student Pays Program Directly
If a program bills the student directly, the student must apply for a Leave of Absence through Workday for the term abroad. In this situation, U.S. financial aid cannot be used.
After completing the program, students are responsible for requesting that an official transcript be sent to the ذكذكتسئµ Registrar’s Office. Completed coursework will appear as transfer credit on the ذكذكتسئµ transcript.
Cost
- Host Program Fees (may include tuition and/or housing and/or food): It is the student’s responsibility to learn the host institution's costs.
- Insurance (Supplemental to the student's primary insurance): $270
- Processing Fee: $465
These costs will be payable through your ذكذكتسئµ account.
Financial Aid
- All federal and state aid can be applied to the costs of the program
- No ذكذكتسئµ-specific financial aid may be used for the program cost.
Featured Programs
- Other programs in consultation with the Off-Campus Programs office
1. Determine your eligibility
To participate in a ذكذكتسئµ associated off-campus semester program, you must meet the following criteria:
- Have sophomore status or above
- Have a minimum GPA of 2.5
- Submit an online application for ذكذكتسئµ, and
- Submit an application for the associated program to which you are applying
It is very important to note that you must submit two application processes—one for ذكذكتسئµ, and one for the program you plan to join—to be eligible to participate in an associated semester program.
2. Note the deadlines
Deadlines vary by program, so be sure to leave yourself enough time to complete the application process for the program you are choosing. Allow plenty of time and plan to begin the application process well before the deadline; although the ذكذكتسئµ application is online, it can take several days to complete, as you must wait for various approvals across campus. Note also that each individual program may have additional deadlines to which you must adhere.
3. Complete the ذكذكتسئµ off-campus application process
This is the first of two steps in the application process. The ذكذكتسئµ application determines your academic and social eligibility for the off-campus program.
4. Complete the associated program application
Once you have completed the ذكذكتسئµ application process, you must also apply to the associated program itself. Instructions and details for doing so are available in the program description; we strongly encourage you to contact the program organizer to confirm each step and deadline of the application process.
Important note: Once you are accepted to a program, make sure you contact ذكذكتسئµ's Off-Campus Programs office to let them know about your plans and application status.
ذكذكتسئµ associated programs bill ذكذكتسئµ directly, and ذكذكتسئµ bills the students, with state and federal financial aid applying to the cost of the program. If you have any questions about costs, please contact us.
These programs an allow equal number of students to be exchanged between two schools. For each ذكذكتسئµ student who studies in an overseas institution, a student from that institution may attend ذكذكتسئµ. Students pay ذكذكتسئµ tuition (to ذكذكتسئµ) and are also responsible for other costs such as room and board, transportation, and immunizations.
