It is crucial that students adhere to the deadlines outlined below and in the Guidelines for Study Away (available in the OIP, 66 Vernon Street). Failure to do so will compromise students’ eligibility to study away.

 Applying for study away is a multi-step process: 

Before November 30, 2007, students who wish to study away in 2008-2009 must:

·      Attend a study away information session or schedule a meeting with an adviser in the OIP for general advising.

·      Research approved programs and select one program and one alternate per study away term.

·      Meet with your faculty advisor about your study away plans to discuss what courses you should take before you go, while you study away, and upon your return. 

By December 9, 2007, students who wish to study away in 2008-2009 must:

·      Submit a Request for Approval to Study Away for 2008-2009 to the Office of International Programs in order to gain approval from the College to study away. (Faculty recommendations are also due by December 9 – they may be handed in with the Request or sent to the OIP directly by faculty.)

·      Submit a Petition for a Non-Approved Program with the Request, if you wish to apply for approval to study away on a non-approved program.

 By late January 2008:

·      You will be notified by mail whether or not they have been approved to study away, to which program(s) you have been approved to apply, and for which study away term(s) you have been approved.  

·     You must then submit an application to study away on the programs for which you have been approved. This is separate and additional from the request to study away. See important notes below for more details.

Before April 2008:

·      If you decide that you no longer wish to study away during the 2008-2009 academic year, this is deadline to withdraw your request to study away and remain eligible to participating in the spring housing lottery near the end of the spring 2008 semester. (Following the housing lottery, you may still withdraw, but you will not be able to participate in the housing lottery and will be unlikely to get on-campus housing or housing in CCI.)

Before May 1 2008 (fall or full year) or November 15 2008 (spring study away):

·      If you are studying on a non-Trinity program, you must submit a copy of your program acceptance letter to the Office of International Programs.

·      By this date, you must submit an Application for Transfer Credit with the Office of the Registrar (for more information, go to the Registrar’s website)– students studying at Trinity’s Rome Campus or on the PRESHCO program do not need to complete this form.

Before your return to campus after studying away:

·      You MUST submit a study away program evaluation that is required by Trinity College. This evaluation is separate from any program evaluation you may have had to complete. The evaluation is mandatory and a hold will be placed upon your transcript until this evaluation has been submitted. It is available at http://internet2.trincoll.edu/TCSurveys/INTL

·      You must file any changes to your Application for Transfer Credit with the Registrar’s Office.

Important Notes

·      Students are responsible for applying to the programs on which they have College approval to study away. Applications to programs are separate from the Request for Approval to Study Away. Students should submit program applications directly to the program provider (Trinity or other college, university, or organization that administers the program) well before the indicated program deadline. Because programs are competitive and often fill up well in advance of published deadlines, the OIP asks that students who wish to study away for the Fall or Full Year apply no later than March 1 to their programs and students who with to apply to study away in Spring apply no later than September 15. Some program deadlines, especially to colleges and universities in the UK and Australia may be considerably earlier. Any program that has an earlier application must receive your application by the indicated deadline.

 ·      Approval by Trinity College to apply to study away does not guarantee admission or acceptance to any program. Students must ensure that they adhere to program application deadlines and meet all program eligibility requirements.
