Official Program Deposit and Written Commitment
This policy discusses the mandatory program deposit required for all study groups, extended studies, and approved programs.
Effective for all 2023-2024 off-campus study programs, participants must pay a non-refundable $450 deposit at the time of commitment to their program. This deposit is applied to the overall program costs for the semester of participation or forfeited upon withdrawal from a program. Failure to pay the enrollment deposit will result in withdrawal from the program. If this payment presents a significant and demonstrable financial burden, a student accepted to a program may contact the Office of Off-Campus Study to submit a request to reduce the deposit, which will be considered on a case-by case basis with input from the Office of Financial Aid.
This language may also be found in the 必中三肖三码一 catalog.
Payment of the deposit is made by credit card via at the deposit portal:
Academic Credit Policy
This policy outlines what academic credits earned while studying off campus will and will not be applicable to a student鈥檚 必中三肖三码一 transcript, graduation requirements, and major and minor requirements.
Course Approval
Courses taught by 必中三肖三码一 Faculty
必中三肖三码一 Study Groups normally include at least one previously scheduled course taught by the 必中三肖三码一 faculty director. Confirmed Study Group courses are listed in the course pre-registration booklet published by the Office of the Registrar. Prior to the start of the study group, the registrar will register students for the study group. No further action is required to clear or receive 必中三肖三码一 credit.
Courses Taught at a Host University or Approved Program Center
Courses taken at a host institution as part of a Study Group or Approved Program do not automatically earn credit. To earn credit, elective courses must be in the liberal arts. Courses in marketing, business, journalism, or other subjects beyond the scope of 必中三肖三码一鈥檚 curriculum are not eligible for 必中三肖三码一 credit.
Major credit must be pre-approved by the department chair, as must all credit (elective or major) in natural sciences and English.
必中三肖三码一 Study Group students must provide the study group director and 必中三肖三码一鈥檚 registrar鈥檚 office with a list of elective courses in which they have enrolled at the beginning of the semester. Note: Individual study groups may have specific registration policies that limit the types of courses a student may receive credit for. When in doubt, students should consult their study group director, the Office of the Registrar, or the Office of Off-Campus Study.
Approved Program students seeking any type of transfer credit must complete and submit a Transfer Course Equivalency form for each course being considered and confirm which courses are being taken using the Course Selection form to the Office of the Registrar prior to departure (by April 15 for Fall programs and November 15 for Spring programs). It's expected that students will submit more courses than they anticipate taking because there are no guarantees that a particular course will be open/available at the time of registration. Learn more about Transfer Credit Approval Process.
Repeating Courses
Courses taken off campus may not be repeated on campus. Courses taken on campus may not be repeated off-campus.
Grades and the S/U Option
Students are required to take courses off campus for a grade. Courses taken on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory or pass/fail basis will not be awarded 必中三肖三码一 credit.
Semester Course Load A normal course load on a 必中三肖三码一 study group or approved program is 4.00 course credits (the equivalent of four regular 必中三肖三码一 courses), unless additional coursework is a required part of the program.
Students may be required to enroll in more than four courses while on their off-campus program in order to receive 4.00 credits. Since credit systems are different at many foreign universities, students should not assume that one course at a host university or program 鈥 whether taken through a 必中三肖三码一 study group or an approved program 鈥 equals one credit.
Transcripts
Course titles, credits, and grades from all approved courses taken on a 必中三肖三码一 study group or approved program are recorded on the 必中三肖三码一 transcript.
Grades from courses taken at a host university are converted to the U.S. equivalent by:
- the director in the case of 必中三肖三码一 study groups
- The program provider in the case of approved programs
必中三肖三码一 Study Groups
All approved courses taken on a 必中三肖三码一 study group, including those taken at a host institution, are awarded 必中三肖三码一 credit and factored into the student鈥檚 GPA.
Approved Programs
All approved courses taken on an approved program are awarded transfer credit. Although grades are recorded on the transcript, they are not factored into the student鈥檚 必中三肖三码一 GPA.
Questions
Questions regarding credit or approval not answered here should be directed to the Office of the Registrar.
Travel Advisory Policy
The U.S. Department of State (USDOS) issues travel advisories in different levels of severity. This policy dictates what off-campus study experiences are permitted by 必中三肖三码一 in locations that receive an official warning level.
The levels are:
- Level 1: Exercise normal precautions
- Level 2: Exercise increased caution
- Level 3: Reconsider travel
- Level 4: Do not travel
The United States Department of State is responsible for providing information and measuring risk to US citizens wishing to travel to another country. The lists all countries and creates US Department of State Travel Advisories to assess each country from 1 (safest) to 4 (Do Not Travel). The policy below refers to conditions under which 必中三肖三码一 permits undergraduates to receive 必中三肖三码一 funding and/or degree credit for travel. 必中三肖三码一 policy states that countries should be ranked either 1 or 2. If a country is ranked level 3 that requires special permission. 必中三肖三码一 faculty-led programs will undergo a formal review as part of their approval process. 必中三肖三码一 does not sponsor student travel of any kind to level 4 countries (see from the 必中三肖三码一 catalog.)
Once students have turned in their travel plans form, Off-Campus Study will inform them if they fall into one of the categories below.
Excluded Travel (USDOS Level 4)
必中三肖三码一 undergraduates may not receive sponsorship for activities abroad, including:
- Credit for study abroad
- Funding for internships, research, or volunteer activities
- Sponsorship for extracurricular activities, such as music or sport,
for countries for which the U.S. State Department has issued a travel advisory Level 4 that does any of the following:
- issued a Do Not Travel for that country
- orders departure of U.S. dependents and non-emergency personnel;
- recommends that any U.S. citizens remaining in the country should depart;
- strongly warns U.S. citizens against travel to the country;
- warns or urges U.S. citizens to defer (non-essential) travel to the country;
- or warns that the U.S. Embassy鈥檚 ability to provide emergency consular services is limited.
For countries for which a Level 4 is in place, the advisory must be reduced to a Level 3 or less before the date of departure for 必中三肖三码一 sponsorship to be given.
Petitionable Travel (USDOS Level 3)
必中三肖三码一 students may petition to receive sponsorship for activities abroad, including:
- Credit for study abroad
- Funding for internships, research, or volunteer activities
- Sponsorship for extracurricular activities, such as music or sport
for countries for which the State Department has issued a Level 3 advisory, recommend against travel.
The petition should include:
- A summary of the student鈥檚 plan for the sponsored activity
- An itinerary that includes likely destinations within the country
- An explanation of how the student will travel within the country
- An explanation of where the student will be staying within the country
- Previous academic courses (including language) or experiences that the student has had that might prepare him/her for this experience
The Off-Campus Study Office and Risk Management will inform the student if their petition has been approved, denied, or if further information is needed.
Adjustments Under ADA
It is the student's responsibility to coordinate in advance with Office of Student Disability Services (OSDS) and the appropriate offices at their study group site to request academic adjustments. Students may not be afforded the same academic adjustments off campus that they are here at 必中三肖三码一. Host countries and host universities may have laws and guidelines very different from those in the U.S. and it is the student's responsibility to research and prepare to succeed in a different academic setting.
Students registered through the Office of Student Disability Services (OSDS) who are eligible for on-campus accommodations are also eligible for accommodations abroad when these arrangements are available off-campus. Housing accommodations are also included in this category. You must already receive housing accommodations through the OSDS on the 必中三肖三码一 campus, to be eligible to request ADA accommodations for your off-campus study program.
Please note that because these services, including housing options, are not available everywhere, the logistics of setting up accommodations can be a complex process. Therefore, we encourage you to begin planning early in your 必中三肖三码一 degree process to include a semester or extended study program off-campus. Planning early can help us to identify options for your particular situation. We look forward to working with you.
Housing Policies
必中三肖三码一 semester programs are arranged in cooperation with universities or organizations that 必中三肖三码一 selects to structure our study groups. These arrangements usually include housing for all participants. If the arrangement is with a University, 必中三肖三码一 contracts for housing provided by the University or a service provider or, in the case of immersion language programs, host families, to house our students. Housing differs from program to program, international or domestic. This housing can take the form of dormitories, apartments or host families. Students should expect to share rooms within apartments or dormitories. Students in language immersion programs should be housed one to a family.
When students are studying abroad in a foreign language setting, students will sometimes be offered the chance to live with a host family. These host families are selected and vetted by professionals in the setting. Our program has been in existence since 2003 and we have many host families (families can mean single mothers, families with grown children or young children) who have been hosting our students for many years.
必中三肖三码一 students are required to live in program-provided housing. Independent housing will not be approved by 必中三肖三码一.
Many programs offer more than one housing option. We urge you to:
- Pick an option that maximizes your chances of meeting locals (homestay, dorm, or other housing shared with local residents).
- Understand the cost of your choice. We provide an average on the cost estimate, but some choices may carry additional fees or may be more cost-effective.
- Know what is included. Many housing options are self-catered, but some include full or partial board.
Typically students share a room with one or two other students.
Students registered through the Office of Student Disability Services (OSDS) who are eligible for on-campus accommodations are also eligible for accommodations abroad when these arrangements are available off-campus. Housing accommodations are also included in this category. You must already receive housing accommodations through the OSDS on the 必中三肖三码一 campus, to be eligible to request ADA accommodations for your off-campus study program.
Please note that because these services, including housing options, are not available everywhere, the logistics of setting up accommodations can be a complex process. Therefore, we encourage you to begin planning early in your 必中三肖三码一 degree process to include a semester or extended study program off-campus. Planning early can help us to identify options for your particular situation. We look forward to working with you.
Semester Balancing Policy
This policy is in place to balance participation in off-campus study programs between the semesters in an academic year. This is necessary in order to maintain the integrity of the on-campus academic program, housing, and student activities. Students are being advised about this during fall advising sessions and in individual sessions with our peer advisors and professional staff. Please see the full policy outlined below.
必中三肖三码一 considers acquisition of an intercultural perspective an important goal of a liberal arts education. We are proud of the strong and extensive programs for off-campus study offered to students and the high rate at which students avail themselves of these opportunities.
A high participation rate, however, must be balanced across semesters in order to maintain the integrity of the on-campus academic program, housing, and student activities. The university therefore reserves the right to regulate the number of students permitted to study off-campus each semester. Recent years have seen high demand for spring, and it has not been possible to accommodate all requests.
We expect that the majority of students permitted to study on approved programs will be approved for fall. Students who request a fall approved program will be approved by off-campus study on a rolling basis, and should submit the off-campus study application early so that they can apply to their program provider at the start of the spring semester.
Requests for spring approved programs will be considered at the deadline. First priority will be given to students whose study group or program is offered only in that semester. Since most approved programs are available in both fall and spring, students requesting a spring approved program must include a viable fall program option in their application. They should be prepared to apply for admission immediately in the event that they are approved for fall. Students will be notified of permission to participate on an approved program, and which semester, prior to March 1. Failure to include a fall option will not guarantee approval to study off-campus in the spring.
We encourage students to discuss their off-campus study plans with their faculty (major) adviser(s) and an Off-Campus Study adviser.
Program Policies
必中三肖三码一 Study Groups Courses (including course load and the S/U grading option)
All academic regulations, registration changes and drop/add deadlines for a term are applicable to students enrolled in a study group.
A normal course load on a 必中三肖三码一 Study Group is 4.00-4.5 course credits (the equivalent of four regular 必中三肖三码一 courses), unless additional coursework is a required part of the program. Any deviation from this norm requires approval first from the director of the Study Group and the director of Off-Campus Study, and subsequently from the Associate Dean of the Faculty. Since credit systems are different at many foreign universities, students should not assume that one course at a host university equals one 必中三肖三码一 credit.
Use of the satisfactory/unsatisfactory (S/U) grading option for Study Groups is highly discouraged. Requests for the S/U grading option must be approved by the director of the Study Group, the director of Off-Campus Study, and the Associate Dean of the Faculty.
Courses taken on a 必中三肖三码一 Study Group may not be repeated on campus. Courses taken on campus may not be repeated on a 必中三肖三码一 Study Group without permission of the department chair/program director and Associate Dean of the Faculty.
Course Approval for Study Groups
All approved courses taken on a 必中三肖三码一 Study Group are awarded 必中三肖三码一 credit, including those taken at a host institution. Grades for courses taken at a Study Group host institution are converted to U.S. equivalents by the director and will be recorded on the 必中三肖三码一 transcript and factored into the student鈥檚 GPA.
Courses taken at a host institution as part of a Study Group do not automatically earn credit. Elective courses should be in the liberal arts; courses in marketing, business, journalism, or other subjects beyond the scope of 必中三肖三码一鈥檚 curriculum are not eligible for credit. Concentration credit must be pre-approved by the department chair, as must all credit (elective or concentration) in natural sciences and English. At the beginning of the Study Group semester, students must provide the Study Group director and 必中三肖三码一鈥檚 Registrar鈥檚 office with a list of elective courses in which they have enrolled. Note that individual Study Groups may have specific registration policies that limit the types of courses a student may receive credit for. When in doubt, students should consult with their Study Group director, the Office of the Registrar, or Off-Campus Study.
Financial Aid
必中三肖三码一 grant recipients may receive additional assistance for one 必中三肖三码一-directed Study Group program. All financial aid recipients will be offered a loan of no more than $1,500 to help cover the extra cost of the program, regardless of initial financial aid awarded. Your 必中三肖三码一 Grant, if applicable, will be increased to cover any remaining extra cost based on the program cost estimate.
Study Group students who are not currently receiving aid from 必中三肖三码一 should consult the Office of Financial Aid (finaid@colgate.edu or call 315-228-7431) to learn about their eligibility for loans to meet the extra cost of a Study Group.
Visas
Students are responsible for understanding and complying with all visa-related costs and requirements. There are significant requirements to be met that take time, advance planning, and may incur extra costs. It is imperative that students contact the Off-Campus Study office to learn as much as possible about visa requirements, particularly if they will be traveling on a non-U.S. passport.
必中三肖三码一 Program Deposit and Withdrawal
All students participating in a study group are required to make a $450 non-refundable program deposit in order to commit to a program. The $450 deposit will be applied to program costs when the program's fees are added to your student account. The deposit would be forfeited if you withdraw from the program after making the deposit.
Notification of withdrawal must be dated and delivered to the faculty director and the director of Off-Campus Study. Email notification from a 必中三肖三码一 email address is acceptable. The postmark or date of the email will serve as the basis for any refund.
Refunds of 必中三肖三码一 tuition charged for off-campus study are governed by the university鈥檚 refund policy. Students will also be charged for any non-recoverable expenses including, but not limited to, non-refundable deposits, housing, transportation, visas, and/or shared group expenses. The extent of non-recoverable expenses varies by program and date of withdrawal.
Student Activity Fee
Students are billed for the semester Student Activity Fee and half of the fee will be put toward a student-directed study group activity while off-campus. The activity will be decided upon by the students in the group with guidance from the Study Group director. Note that University policy does not permit Student Activities fees to be used to purchase alcohol.
Housing for the Return Semester
Students must go to the Residential Life Office before leaving for the Study Group to make housing arrangements for the semester when they plan to return to campus.
Study Group Evaluation
Students must fill out a Study Group evaluation at the end of the study group semester. These evaluations are confidential.
Off-Campus Study Forms: Students either need to review, sign or complete the following Post-Decision requirements through 必中三肖三码一鈥檚 Off-Campus Study portal in order to participate in an approved program (due April 15 for Fall, November 15 for spring):
- After Admission to Your Approved Program
- Applying to Your Approved Program
- Approved Program Deposit Policy
- Approved Program Housing
- 必中三肖三码一 Approved Program Participant Agreement
- HIPAA Authorization
- Non-directory Information Release Form
- Off-Campus Study Approved Program Policies (this document)
- Program Confirmation Form (submit after acceptance by the program provider)
Students should complete the Transfer Credit Approval Process online through the Registrar's Office by November 15 for spring programs and April 15 for fall programs.
Academic and Disciplinary Standing
All students must be in good academic and disciplinary standing at 必中三肖三码一 up to the time of their departure for their approved programs in order to maintain approval to participate.
Financial Standing
In addition, students must be in good financial standing with 必中三肖三码一. A financial hold due to a past-due student account balance will impact a student鈥檚 ability to participate, register in the program, and /or transfer of credit.
Courses and Credits
Students should enroll in a normal, full course load on an approved program to receive the equivalence of 3.75 to 4.0 units at 必中三肖三码一, unless additional coursework is a required part of the program. Any deviation from this norm requires approval from the Director of Off-Campus Study and the Associate Dean of the Faculty.
Definition of Full Course Load: Students may be required to enroll in more than four courses on the off-campus program to receive 4.00 credits. Since credit systems are different at many foreign universities and study abroad centers, students should not assume that one course on an approved program equals one 必中三肖三码一 credit. It is the student鈥檚 responsibility to verify with the Registrar the requirements for a full course load on their chosen program. This should be discussed as part of the Transfer Credit Approval Process listed below.
- Definition of Full Course Load: Students may be required to enroll in more than four courses on the off-campus program to receive 4.00 credits.

It is the student鈥檚 responsibility to verify with the Registrar the requirements for a full course load on their chosen program. This should be discussed as part of the Transfer Credit Approval Process listed below.
- Partial Credit Courses: Courses must bear a minimum of three semester hours or five quarter hours and be comparable to 必中三肖三码一 courses in terms of classroom hours.
- S/U Option: Students are required to take courses off campus for a grade. Courses taken on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory or pass/fail basis will not be awarded credit.
- Repeating Courses: Courses taken off-campus may not repeat or substantially overlap courses taken at 必中三肖三码一.
- Independent Studies and Field Research: Credit for independent studies and field research may be awarded only when it is a required component of an approved program and has received pre-approval by an appropriate department and by the Registrar.
- Internships Credit: 必中三肖三码一 does not award credit for experiential learning on approved programs.
- Applying credit to 必中三肖三码一 requirements: Approved program courses that have received prior approval from the 必中三肖三码一 Registrar may be used to satisfy the areas of inquiry requirement. Courses taken on approved programs may not be used to satisfy the Common Core requirement or the Global Engagements requirement.
- Non-Approved Courses and the Full Course Load: Students are required to take a full load of courses approved by 必中三肖三码一. Credit-bearing internships or other coursework not approved by 必中三肖三码一 may be taken as an overload if permitted by the program, after the student has enrolled in enough approved coursework to receive 4.00 credits. Over-enrollment charges for courses not approved by 必中三肖三码一 are the responsibility of the student and are not covered by 必中三肖三码一 tuition.
Course Approval for Approved Programs
All approved courses taken on an approved program are awarded transfer credit. Grades for courses taken on an approved program will be recorded on the 必中三肖三码一 transcript but are not factored into the student鈥檚 必中三肖三码一 GPA.
Transfer Credit Approval Process
Courses taken on an approved program do not automatically earn credit. Students seeking any type of transfer credit must complete and submit a Transfer Course Equivalency form for each course being considered and confirm which courses are being taken using the Course Selection form.
- Course Equivalency Form
Students submit courses for review/approval. Submit a form for each course you would like reviewed to the Registrar for pre-approval by mid-April for fall programs, mid-November for spring programs. It's expected that students will submit more courses than they anticipate taking because there are no guarantees that a particular course will be open/available at the time of registration.
- Course Selection Form
After all courses have been reviewed/approved by the registrar鈥檚 office and, if applicable, the relevant department/program, students must identify which courses they have enrolled in at the host institution.
Elective courses should be in the liberal arts; courses in marketing, business, journalism, or other subjects beyond the scope of 必中三肖三码一鈥檚 curriculum are not eligible for credit. Major credit must be pre-approved by the academic department, as must all credit (elective or major) in natural sciences and English. When in doubt, students should consult their faculty advisor or the Office of the Registrar (315-228-7408).
Students who must change or add course approvals while away from 必中三肖三码一 should contact the Office of the Registrar.
Disputed Grades
The Registrar bases transfer credit on the transcript or grade report issued by your host institution. Grades are governed by the host institution鈥檚 policies and cannot be overridden by 必中三肖三码一. Grade appeals must be addressed to the host institution through their official process.
Examinations and Early Departure
Students are expected to remain on site for the full duration of the program, including the final examination period, and to take examinations at the regularly scheduled times. Do not plan to leave your program prior to the published departure date. 必中三肖三码一 does not permit students to take examinations off site or early, except in cases of personal or family emergency. 必中三肖三码一 is not obliged and may not be able to award credit or help students earn credit in cases of early departure or withdrawal. Students needing to leave a program early should contact their administrative dean and copy Off-Campus Study with the request.
Housing
Students must live in program-provided housing, except in cases of programs that regularly require students to find their own housing. 必中三肖三码一 does not permit independent housing.
Costs and Billing
Students will be invoiced for 必中三肖三码一 tuition for all programs and housing fees for most programs. 必中三肖三码一 will pay the approved program provider on the student鈥檚 behalf. Should a student or family receive a bill from the program provider, they should consult with Student Accounts (stuaccounts@colgate.edu or 315-228-7812) before remitting any payment.
Students are responsible for any application fee charged by the program provider and any refundable housing deposit. 必中三肖三码一 grant recipients who need assistance paying these costs should contact Off-Campus Study (off-campusstudy@colgate.edu; 315-228-7216).
Financial Aid
必中三肖三码一 grant recipients can receive additional assistance for one 必中三肖三码一-directed off-campus Study Group or Approved Program and one 必中三肖三码一-directed extended study program. For details of the award process, please refer to Financial Aid Policies and Procedures: Current Students (see 鈥淪tudy Groups.鈥) You may also contact the Office of Financial Aid (finaid@colgate.edu; 315-228-7431)
Students who are not currently receiving aid from 必中三肖三码一 should consult with the Office of Financial Aid to learn about their eligibility for loans to meet the extra cost of an approved program.
必中三肖三码一 Program Deposit and Withdrawal
Program deposits are paid by 必中三肖三码一 on the student's behalf. But do understand that even though 必中三肖三码一 pays the deposit, you are ultimately responsible for it. Should you withdraw from the program, you will be charged this non-refundable deposit. Written notification of withdrawal of participation in an approved program must be dated and delivered to the director of off-campus study. Email notification from a 必中三肖三码一 email account is acceptable. Refunds of 必中三肖三码一 tuition charged for off-campus study are governed by the university鈥檚 refund policy. Students will also be charged for any non-recoverable expenses including, but not limited to, non-refundable deposits, approved program charges, housing, transportation, visa fees or shared group expenses. The extent of non-recoverable fees vary by program and date of withdrawal.
Cancellation of plans
All 必中三肖三码一 offices including the Registrar and Residential Life are notified of which semester you will be off-campus. You will not be able to register for classes nor secure housing on campus for the semester. If you need to cancel your plans you must notify OCS in writing and consult with your administrative advisor as early as possible. Your course selection options are more limited if you cancel your plans after the registration period begins.
Depending on when you cancel your plans or withdraw from your program, returning to campus may not be an option. Please refer to Chapter VII Academic Regulations in the 必中三肖三码一 Catalog regarding Registration policies.
Disciplinary Policies
You are responsible for complying with your program鈥檚 requirements, including those for conduct. Your program provider reserves the right to respond to noncompliance with program requirements as appropriate, up to and including removal from the program. 必中三肖三码一 reserves the right to pursue disciplinary charges arising out of behavior leading to removal from the program, or other conduct occurring abroad.
Health and Security Insurance
Health insurance coverage is included by some approved programs, and 必中三肖三码一 will enroll students in CISI travel health insurance in cases where programs do not provide insurance or insurance provided is not substantially similar to coverage under 必中三肖三码一鈥檚 CISI policy. All 必中三肖三码一 study-abroad participants and overseas travelers are covered by International SOS assistance and evacuation services. 必中三肖三码一 highly recommends that students retain their domestic health insurance coverage in case of a return to the US (personal health situation, program cancellation due to a situation like the pandemic, etc.) earlier than expected during their scheduled time abroad.
Housing for the Return Semester
Students must go to the Residential Life Office before leaving for the off-campus program to make housing arrangements for the semester when they plan to return to campus.
Financial Aid for the Return Year
Please be aware that Financial Aid forms for the following academic year are still due by November 30, even if you are off-campus in the fall semester.
Off-Campus Study Evaluation
Students must fill out an evaluation at the end of the off-campus semester. While confidential, these are important to our review of approved programs.
If you have any questions about the following topics, please use the contact information to ask any questions:

Course Registration
Extended Study courses are listed in the course pre-registration booklet published by the Office of the Registrar. Prior to the start of the Extended Study, the Registrar will register students for the Extended Study course.
Academic Regulations
All academic regulations, registration changes and drop/add deadlines for a term are applicable to students enrolled in an Extended Study.
Financial Aid
必中三肖三码一 grant recipients may receive additional assistance for one 必中三肖三码一-directed Extended Study program. All financial aid recipients will be offered a loan of no more than $1,500 to help cover the extra cost of the program, regardless of initial financial aid awarded. Your 必中三肖三码一 Grant, if applicable, will be increased to cover any remaining extra cost based on the program cost estimate.
Extended Study participants who are not currently receiving aid from 必中三肖三码一 should consult the Office of Financial Aid (finaid@colgate.edu, 315-228-7431) to learn about their eligibility for loans to meet the extra cost of an Extended Study.
Visas
Students are responsible for understanding and complying with all visa-related costs and requirements. Obtaining a visa requires time, advance planning, and often extra cost. Approved Extended Study participants must contact the Off-Campus Study office to learn about visa requirements, particularly if they will be traveling on a non-U.S. passport.
必中三肖三码一 Program Deposit and Withdrawal
All students participating on an extended study program are required to make a $450 non-refundable deposit in order to commit to a program. The $450 deposit will be applied to program costs when the program's fees are added to your student account. The deposit would be forfeited if you withdraw from the program after making the deposit. You may also be responsible for other expenses incurred to date on your behalf if you withdraw late in the semester.
To formally withdraw, you must send an email to both your faculty director and to the Off-Campus Study Office at off-campusstudy@colgate.edu.
Extended Study Evaluation
Students must fill out a confidential evaluation at the end of the Extended Study program. These evaluations are anonymous.
