Where do I start?
Studying off campus not only allows you to learn more about a particular subject, profession or place, but learn more about yourself. Studying off campus in any capacity requires organization, independence and the ability to adapt to change.
The process to study off campus is divided into seven steps.
- Step One: Research and select a program
- Step Two: Completion of initial forms
- Step Three: Registration
- Step Four: Meet with the Director of ACP
- Step Five: Application Process
- Step Six: Notification of acceptance
- Step Seven: Orientation
First, you have to decide where you want to go. There is a program summary for each approved program, both international and domestic, on the left. Once you decide which program is right for you, go to the academic and career planning office and ask for step two. Once you completely fill out the forms, bring them back to the ACP office. Each time you complete a step, you will receive another packet from the office with the next step’s information. Be sure to make copies of any information you want to keep on file. Torn between programs? Feel free to schedule an appointment to discuss your options.
Deadlines
If you are planning to study off campus, you must finish steps one through four by the following deadlines:
- 2009 Summer Programs: December 12, 2008
- 2009 Fall Programs: December 12, 2008
- 2010 Winter Programs: April 8, 2009
This is to ensure you have time to apply to the actual program. If you are still interested in studying off campus and have missed the deadline, you must talk to the Director of ACP.
