APPLICATIONS FOR SPRING 2025 ARE OPEN

UNTIL OCTOBER 15

Whether you are hoping for language immersion, deep study in your major field, or a broad course of options that takes you out of the ordinary, a semester away could be ideal for you. 

Here are 5 things you should know

about Semesters Away

1.

CC has over 130 different semester away options available, including CC’s own spring programs in China, Italy, France, and Krygyzstan and partner programs all over the globe.  Some examples include:

Wildlife Management in Tanzania with SIT

Washington Semester with Internship Options

A Full Year at the London School of Economics

Study At 1 of 5 Campuses in Australia with IFSA

Marine Biodiversity in Tahiti & New Zealand with SEA Semester

National Theatre School of Ireland with IES

Geology of New Zealand with Frontiers Abroad

Social Justice in Brazil with CET

Buddhist Studies in India with Carleton

Budapest Semester in Mathematics

Conflict, Peace & Transition in Northern Ireland

______

2.

Students on a semester away pay CC tuition for the semester, but can use all their normal aid to help cover tuition, room & board, even added costs like airfare or visas.   It really is one of the most affordable and immersive options for study away. 

______

3.

We have a rich database of courses other students have taken and transferred, so that you know before you go just how your courses there will help you for your degree here.   You can check it out even before you pick a program. 

______

4.

CC’s Internal Application is open until October 15, but we recommend applying both to CC and to the preferred partner organization as soon as you have your mind made up, because many programs use rolling admission and close soon.

______

5.

You can get info on all our semester programs (CC-Led and Partner-Led) at our Semester Away Website, including guides by major and a database that lets you search for courses, languages, countries, programs, and majors. 

July 1

Deadline for students in Block 3 or Block 4 off-campus courses to either confirm participation (complete forms & confirm in Summit) or to Withdraw. 

Withdrawal after this date will produce fees added to your CC Account. 

September 18

Deadline to apply on Summit for Block 7 or Block 8 off-campus courses.  Applications received and approved by this date will be reviewed for block away aid.  Later applications may be approved for the course but are unlikely to receive aid. 

October 1

Deadline for students in Block 5 or Block 6 off-campus courses to either confirm participation (complete forms & confirm in Summit) or to Withdraw. 

Withdrawal after this date will produce fees added to your CC Account. 

October 15

Deadline for applications for Spring Semester Away Programs, including the CC in France Semester and all partner-led Programs.

Students should complete the CC internal application in Summit before this date. 
We recommend early application as many programs close early.

LATE APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

News, Events, Deadlines, & Updates from the Center for Global Education & Field Study

SUMMER EDITION

You make our work both possible and fulfilling.

Whether you have led students off-campus this year, advised students on their study away options and course selection, processed invoices, helped connect students with our office, set up travel arrangements, taken courses into the field, worked with our international students to help them feel a sense of belonging, or helped a student make sense of their time here, you have impacted out students’ lives, and you have made our work possible.

Before we presented any news or updates, we just wanted to let you know that your efforts are appreciated, and your support of our work is valued. 

Sometimes in the hustle and bustle of our work here we don’t take time to say thank you. So on behalf of the entire Center for Global Education & Field Study we wanted to say it now. 

PLANNING TO TAKE A CLASS OFF CAMPUS NEXT FALL?

FOR A DAY, A FEW DAYS, A FULL BLOCK?

Please complete the required CANVAS course “Taking Academic Courses Off-Campus” first. 

The Center for Field Study and Global Education has spent a part of the summer revising, updating, and improving the Canvas course for faculty and staff called “Taking Academic Courses Off-Campus”.  It includes guidance and college policy on everything from transportation to per diem, staffing to emergency management plans.  It is essentially our handbook for all Off-Campus travel with students, and it is required for all faculty who plan to take students off our campus as part of an academic course.

__________

If you are planning to take students off campus for anything from a day trip to a full semester away, you are required to complete the essential modules for each travel type (Domestic Field Trip, International Travel, Blocks or Semesters Away) prior to departure.  Completing the course once allows you to travel with students throughout the upcoming year.  There is also a set of modules for your Second Responsible Adult to complete to ensure that they are familiar with expectations and requirements for their role with your traveling group..  The course is divided into several short modules so that you can review the material at your own pace, and does include several check-in quizzes so that your completion of the course can be verified.

You can access the course at https://canvas.coloradocollege.edu/enroll/3HRRL7.

  WE ARE HERE ALL SUMMER TO HELP YOU  

PLAN FOR AND PROPOSE YOUR

SUMMER 2025 OR 2025-2026 BLOCK AWAY.

We know it sounds way too early for that, but it really isn’t. 

SUMMIT proposals for Summer 2025 Off-Campus Blocks are due by Friday, October 4, so summer is a great time to work up the basics, speak with Global Ed, and plan out the what, where, when, why of your course idea.  

________

If you hope to offer an off-campus Block in the 2025-2026 Academic Year,

you have until Friday, October 25, to upload the proposal on SUMMIT,

so once again, summer may be a great time to get those basics figured out.

(AY BLOCKS do not need a full proposal, syllabus, budget, etc. by October,

but the course basics are expected.)

________

Set up an appointment with Allen this summer to walk through the proposal 

process, to help with budget, discussion of potential partner-providers,

or just to discuss an idea you are hoping to turn into a reality.
