Participation Requirements

All students accepted to LIM College's study abroad program will be required to complete the following: submit passport information and emergency contact information; sign LIM College's Travel and Study abroad agreements and waivers; meet with both an Academic Advisor and a Financial Services Counselor; and meet with a physician to complete a health clearance form. Note that this is not an exhaustive list of participation requirements. Any participant who does not complete all required pre-departure steps by the given deadlines will not be permitted to study abroad and will be withdrawn from the program. In addition, study abroad participants must maintain full-time status at the College from the time of their acceptance to the program through the end of their program; dropping to part-time status or withdrawing from the College at any point leading up to the program will make the student ineligible to participate and any committed funds will not be refunded. All questions about the post-application process should be directed to the Study Abroad Coordinator at studyabroad@limcollege.edu.

I will be provided with a specific due date for this deposit by the Study Abroad Coordinator at the time of acceptance. I further understand that by not paying the $250 deposit by the given deadline, I will forfeit my acceptance into the program, and my place will be offered to another applicant.
