How the programs work

  • Students register for º£½Ç»»ÆÞ/SIS exchange credit for the semester in which they will be studying at the partner institution. 
  • Students pay º£½Ç»»ÆÞ tuition and fees. This allows them to apply their financial aid packages to their semester abroad. As semester programs are designed for the independent undergraduate student, additional program fees do not apply.
  • Students pay limited fees to the partner institution. These fees can include welcome program, state-mandated insurance, and activities fees.
  • Students are responsible for their own accommodation, airfare, ground transportation, school supplies, and other personal living expenses while at the partner institution.

Eligibility Requirements

  • Programs are open to all undergraduate students from any º£½Ç»»ÆÞ school or college
  • Students must not be on academic probation at º£½Ç»»ÆÞ and be cleared by Judicial Affairs and Mediation Services (JAMS) for participation.
  • Students must meet with their academic advisors to get approval for the courses they plan to take prior to departure.
