Program Details

Off-campus study is an opportunity open to sophomore, junior and senior students with appropriate academic preparation, motivation, and interest in the relevant area.  Students in all major fields may participate in off-campus programs:  some programs have distinctive curricular strengths, but all are designed to enable students with a variety of interests to benefit from the experience of living and studying in a different cultural setting. Students currently on disciplinary, social, or academic probation are not eligible to apply for, or participate in, off-campus study programs.  In addition, students with outstanding disciplinary fines, service hours and/or education program requirements are not eligible to participate in the program.  Second-semester seniors must petition to participate.

Admission to programs is based on the quality of application.  Candidates must present a coherent academic rationale for studying in Canada and a record of academic performance that demonstrates ability to meet the challenges of off-campus study.  The selection committee considers closely the candidate's rationale for participation and academic record as a whole.  Candidates for the Canada program must also present evidence of maturity and responsibility.
