Please note the following about participation on a non-affiliated study abroad program:

1. Students who go on a non-affiliated program must take a leave of absence from Ithaca College if studying abroad for a semester or year. 
2. Credits taken on a non-affiliated program will transfer back, provided the student completes and submits appropriate paperwork, and earns grades of C- or better in the classes.  Grades from non-affiliated programs do not transfer, and will not have an impact on the student’s cumulative GPA. 
3. Only federal financial aid may transfer to the costs of a non-affiliated program, and then only to non-affiliated programs that are eligible to receive Title IV funds.  Students who participate in non-affiliated programs are not eligible to receive any Ithaca College institutional financial aid (scholarships, grants, etc.) for the study abroad semester.
4. A $415 study abroad administrative fee is charged when students participate in a non-affiliated semester program. 
5. Students going on non-affiliated programs must still work with the Office of International Programs to register for the program, and must complete appropriate pre-departure paperwork and requirements.  Students will receive the same support/guidance from International Programs regardless of whether their program is affiliated or non-affiliated.
