Study Abroad

Students electing to study abroad for a semester or summer in an approved program of study are encouraged to do so after the intermediate level. A minimum of five (5) 300-400 level courses must be taken on the Covenant College campus for those students desiring a major; a minimum of two (2) 300-400 level courses must be taken on the Covenant College campus by all students desiring a minor.

A study abroad student typically continues enrollment at Covenant College, paying fees and receiving financial aid or scholarship monies in a normal fashion as though studies were continued on campus. The College then takes the sum of money due to the program and distributes the money in its entirety. Any remaining balance is the responsibility of the student. However, certain valid and approved study abroad programs do not appear in the listing of the Christian Coalition of Colleges and Universities (CCCU) which Covenant College uses as a guideline for study abroad programs. In such cases, a student may choose to temporarily de-enroll from Covenant College for the semester of study abroad, losing the College’s financial aid and scholarship monies*, and pay the fees of the program on his own. Once the student returns to Covenant with credit gained from the overseas program, the aid and scholarship packages will be reinstated as close as possible, according to federal guidelines, to their previous amounts before the semester abroad.

 

*Maclellan Scholars will retain their monies.
