Deposits for off-campus study
All students studying off-campus will be asked to submit a non-refundable confirmation deposit to OCSE.
For semester/year programs, students are required to submit a $500 non-refundable confirmation deposit two weeks after receiving approval from the Committee on Academic Standing (CAS) to study off campus but no later than November 1st (for spring programs) or April 15th (for fall/year programs). The $500 confirmation deposit will appear as a credit on the semester invoice.
For short-term travel seminars, students must submit a $250 non-refundable application deposit to OCSE at the time of application in order for the application to be considered complete and reviewed. The $250 deposit will be credited to your ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø account if accepted to the travel seminar.
