If you are interested in a program that is not affiliated with Benedictine College you can still apply through Benedictine, however, you must be aware that:
- You will have to pay the study abroad fee to Benedictine ($750 for Exchange and Direct programs, $250 for non-affiliated programs).
- You will pay the college the specific study abroad program fee instead of your regular semester tuition.
- Your institutional financial aid will not apply, the federal financial aid might apply (you have to work with the financial aid office on this, see below).
- The approval process must start at the beginning of the semester prior to the one you plan to study abroad.
- The process starts with the online application form here.
- You are required to make an appointment with the Registrar to verify your enrollment status while abroad and make sure that the courses taken abroad will transfer to Benedictine. Without prior approval, credit may not be transferable to Benedictine College.
- You are also required to make an appointment with the Financial Aid office to verify what financial aid applies to your specific program and make sure that all the relevant paperwork is taken care of in advance of making final plans.
