Policies and Procedures

  1. These policies apply only to semester and academic year programs of study abroad. Separate funding is available to support summer study abroad programs and internships. See the study abroad coordinator for information on short-term program funding.
  2. Students are approved for study abroad based on a competitive review of all applications by a faculty committee.
  3. Ursinus College has a "financial aid travels" policy. According to this policy students may use their financial aid packages (including both need and merit-based funding) for study abroad. Students who hold grants and scholarships and/or federal and state grants and loans must apply for these funds as usual by separate application to the Student Financial Services Office. Such funds are released for qualifying Ursinus College students who opt to participate in pre-approved semester or academic year programs. Visit Study Abroad Programs and Affiliations for listings.
  4. Students who elect to participate in programs not included in the pre-approved list may be allowed to use their financial aid packages if the program of their choice is deemed to be better suited to their academic goals.
  5. Study abroad students pay Ursinus College tuition (and room and board if included in the study abroad program's fee) less any funding award directly to the College. The College disburses payment to the study abroad program on the student’s behalf.
  6. Airfare, transportation and travel, books and supplies, and personal expenses overseas are the student’s responsibility.
  7. Study abroad application packets are available in the Study Abroad Office (Olin Hall 219) and in the Dean’s Office (first floor Corson Hall). The application deadline is March 31, 2000 for consideration for the fall and/or spring semesters of the 2000-2001 academic year. Completed study abroad application packets must be turned in to the Study Abroad Office.
  8. Approval of study abroad applications will be announced by mid to late April 2000.
  9. All students must apply for approval to study abroad regardless of financial need.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are unsure about your study abroad plans for the 2000-2001 academic year, you should apply by the March 31, 2000 deadline since space is limited and may not be available to late applicants.
