Students enrolled in affiliated programs are guaranteed appropriate academic credit for their study abroad, but petitions for assignment of credit are required to ensure that the credit is applicable to their degree program. Grades received are calculated into students' grade point average and students are eligible to register in advance for the semester they return from study abroad.
Students applying to an affiliated program should not take a leave of absence. Tuition and fees for the program are paid to Ithaca College, which in turn pays the affiliate, provided the administrative fee of $150 per semester has been paid. Bills for tuition and fees from the affiliate should be sent to the Office of the Bursar with a check payable to Ithaca College for the full amount due, less any payment or financial aid already posted to the student's account. Students studying full time with affiliate programs are eligible for Ithaca College financial aid, provided they have at least a 2.75 cumulative GPA. They may also be eligible for federal and state financial aid programs.
There are numerous U.S. college-sponsored programs of study abroad, in addition to programs offered by the universities of many countries. The Office of International Programs has a library of materials about both kinds of programs.
Students enrolled in nonaffiliated programs are not guaranteed academic credit for their study abroad unless petitions for transfer credit have been approved in advance for the courses they take. Ithaca College will only grant transfer credit for grades of C- or better, but grades are not calculated into the students' Ithaca College grade point average. Students are eligible to register in advance for the semester they return from study abroad, provided they have taken a leave of absence. Students on a leave of absence must have a $250 deposit on account at Ithaca College and pay a $150 administrative fee for study abroad to the College. Students studying with such a program are not eligible for Ithaca College financial aid. Federal funds may be applicable to participation in non-affiliated programs. Students with financial need should inquire directly to the program of interest about extramural scholarships and consult with the Office of Financial Aid.
Students who wish to apply federal funds toward the cost of participation in a nonaffiliated program should submit bills for tuition and fees from the nonaffiliated program to Ithaca College's Office of the Bursar. Payment should then be made to Ithaca College for the full amount due, less the financial aid already posted to the student's account. Ithaca College will then pay the nonaffiliated program. Students who do not receive federal funds should make payment directly to the nonaffiliated program.
