Deadline to Apply for Block 7 or Block 8 Study Away Courses

Wed., Sept. 20th

(the last day of Block 1)

 

There are several Block 7 and Block 8 courses that are open and looking for new applicants.  Students who apply by September 20 will be reviewed for a possible aid award to help with the program fee and airfare costs for these programs.  Late applications may not be able to qualify for aid, so it is important to apply by the deadline if you are interested in one of these courses.  First Year Students should be aware that aid is distributed using academic year as a primary criteria, and as such, aid for a program prior to the summer after your first year is very rare.

SO270/FR317: Contemporary French Society

BLOCK 7-ITALY

HY200/IT320: Art & Power

Before applying to any program, we recommend speaking with the faculty leader for each to determine if space still remains open for new applications.

 

Many programs now operate on rolling admissions so programs can close at any time.  You can find out more about all of these programs and courses at the Global Education website dedicated to 2023-2024 Blocks Away.  Applications for all blocks away are found on Summit, in the Global Ed portal.

Deadline for CC’s Internal Application

for Spring 2024 Semester Away

Sun., October 15 

(Block 2 Week 4)

 

The CC application to join a partner-led semester away or our CC in France program is due by October 15th.  Late applications are not accepted, so please be sure to complete the form on Summit by the deadline.  

 

We also recommend completing any partner application for a semester away as soon as possible, as many programs have rolling admissions and can close before their advertised deadline.  Most programs require sophomore status to apply, and partner-providers may have their own timeline and their own qualification requirements.   

 

For more information on Semester or Academic Year Away options, credit transfer, financial aid, recommendations based on area of study, as well as application instructions, please visit our Semester Away Overview website.  Applications for all semesters away are found on Summit, in the Global Ed. portal.

CC Chinese in Asia 

CC Russian in Bishkek

CC Italian 203-204 in Italy

 

Application Deadline

Fri., December 1  (Block 4 Week 1)

 

If you are interested in studying Mandarin in East Asia (Hong Kong, Taiwan, possibly Shanghai as well), Russian language in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, or Intermediate Italian in the heart of Italy, be sure to complete your application on Summit by December 1st, though we would always say that earlier is better. 

 

These Block 7-8 half-semester programs offer two blocks of immersive language and cultural study.  There is no program fee with these programs for any student who lives on campus with a full meal plan.  Students living off campus or with a reduced meal plan would have a program fee to cover housing and meals in the host countries.  

 

If you want to find out more before applying, we recommend visiting our Semester Away program page and speaking with each program’s faculty leader.  Applications for these programs are found on Summit in the Global Ed. portal.

 WHAT NEXT?

Just a quick reminder that if you have been approved by the faculty leader for a block away for Fall 2023 or Spring 2024, you should return to Summit to complete the post-acceptance forms and confirm your intention to join the course.  This will give the faculty the ability to provide you with the registration code needed so you can enroll in Banner and locks in your seat.  

 

CHECK YOUR PASSPORT

A reminder to check your passport and make sure that it is valid at least 6 months past the end of your study away program.  Many countries require this 6-month buffer and may not let you board the plane if your passport expires too soon after the program and your return flight date.

 

ORIENTATION MEETINGS

All blocks away have predeparture orientation meetings, typically 1-2 blocks before departure.  If you are not sure if you know when the meeting will be scheduled, please speak with your course’s faculty leader.  You do not want to miss vital information about the course, the travel plan, course expectations, and travel recommendations. 

 

THINKING OF WITHDRAWAL?

If you are considering withdrawing from the program, please remember to do so BEFORE THE WITHDRAWAL DEADLINE.   Late withdrawal can lead to significant financial commitment to a program you won’t be joining, sometimes as much as 100% of the program fee.  If you are unsure if you can join the block away course, we recommend speaking with the faculty leader and making a decision before the deadline.  Deadlines for upcoming blocks are:

 

Blocks 3 or 4: Deadline has passed.

Blocks 5 or 6: October 1

Blocks 7 or 8: December 1

 

WAITLISTED FOR A PROGRAM?

This is not uncommon.  Students dropping from programs is also very common, and since being on the waitlist commits you to nothing, there is no harm in staying on the waitlist for a program.  Of course, look into other summer plans, but it is possible for faculty to call students up from the waitlist up until the first day of the block before the program’s block, for example, the first day of Block 5 for a Block 6 program.  If you are invited to join a program, we will review your application for aid eligibility at that time and will notify you before you are asked to commit to the program.  Sometimes a bit of patience can really pay off.

WHERE CAN I GET MORE INFORMATION?

 

Information about blocks away, semesters, full year abroad, and all CC faculty-led programs is always available on the Global Education website. Updated regularly, this site is your one-stop shop for information, quick guides and “how to” manuals, and links to all our partner organizations. It’s also a great resource if you need a little help convincing others in your life that study away with CC is the right choice for you.
