What are the requirements to
participate in an off campus program? Approval for Study Abroad at
Wells is separate from admission into a study abroad program. In
order to be approved for study abroad, you must have spent at least one
semester at Wells, be registered to take OCS 271B Cross Cultural Preparation
the semester before going abroad, be in good academic and behavioral standing,
have no past-due financial balances, and have the approval of your academic/major
advisor as well as the director of academic advising.
-
How do I get an application
for approval to study abroad? The packet you will need to be approved
to study abroad is available on this site, from Amy Torea, Off-Campus Study
Coordinator, in Cleveland 207, or from a Program Director or Advisor.
Please remember that the application for approval to study abroad is separate
from the application for a study abroad program which you can obtain from
the Program Director/Advisor.
-
How much will it cost to study
abroad? There is no one answer to this as program costs vary.
However, if you do apply for an affiliated program you can expect to pay
Wells College tuition, room and board. If that amount is less than
the program cost plus airfare (included in some programs but not all),
Wells will cover all of those costs for you. In some cases where
the program fee is more than Wells tuition, room and board for the semester
you may be liable for a surcharge.Also, please note that this policy is
only effective for one semester. Students wishing to study abroad
for a year or during two separate semesters will be treated as though they
are on an un-affiliated program during the second semester.
-
How will credits transfer?
It’s important that you discuss with your major/academic advisor the courses
you plan on taking before you go abroad. With the approval of your
advisor, you may use courses to fulfill major or general requirements for
a BA. If you are on an affiliated program your grades will transfer
back and count toward your GPA. Students on an unaffiliated program
will receive pass/fail only and need to obtain a grade of C- or better
in order to receive a Pass.
-
What if I am not interested
in any of the affiliated programs? If the affiliated programs
do not fit your academic or cultural objectives, you are free to apply
to study on an un-affiliated program. Your institutional aid will
not be available and you will have to take a leave-of-absence for the semester.
Students exploring non-affiliated programs should speak with Amy Torea
before applying to any program.
