Requirements Students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher to be eligible for off-campus programs. Exceptions may be made for students required to take a semester abroad by their major. Selection will be based on the academic purposes involved, grade point average, campus citizenship, and previous diverse educational experiences.
Credits Because students remain enrolled at George Fox, courses taken in the selected program will appear on George Fox transcripts with a letter grade. Some courses may meet general education or major requirements. However, approval for such credit must be obtained from the registrar's office before the overseas semester.
Costs Students pay George Fox's standard tuition, room and board, and student fees. Costs typically cover air travel outside the United States, your tuition, and room and board expenses. The student usually needs to cover the cost of textbooks and other educational materials, travel to the point of departure from the U.S., visas (if required), and immunizations, depending on the individual program.
Financial Aid Since the student is officially a George Fox student, they continue to receive financial aid, but there are no student employment opportunities in these programs.
Deposits The student is responsible to submit the initial deposit with his/her application. This will be credited to the student's account if the student is selected and attends the off-campus program. The student is responsible for the application fee. Please consult with the director of global studies for further information on deposits and application fees.
Airfare Typically round trip airfare is included from the point of departure from the U.S. Unless the program makes travel arrangements, the student is responsible for this. These vary according to the individual programs. Please consult with the director for global studies for specific information about flight arrangements and reimbursement policies.
