Study Abroad Policy
- Study Abroad Application All
study abroad applications are made through the Study Abroad Office. Students will complete a Marywood University application
first and obtain approval from the Study Abroad office before
applying to the overseas institution.
- Student Status While Abroad Students
who wish to participate in a study abroad program and retain their
Marywood student status, must choose a program on the Marywood University Study Abroad Program List.
- Cost of Study Abroad It is Marywood University Study Abroad Policy that the
student will pay Marywood University tuition, general & study abroad fees and cost
of housing when studying abroad. The student will be responsible for the cost
of insurance, meals, fees, transportation, books & supplies and personal
expenses. The student is permitted to make use of their financial aid,
including scholarship and grants as indicated by their financial aid
package. Students should meet with the Associate Director for International
Affairs to outline the specific costs of their program before meeting with the
Financial Aid office who will further clarify their costs prior to travel
- Financial Aid
Marywood University’s Study Abroad Policy requires students to pay for tuition, mandatory fees, housing, and study abroad fees directly to the university. Students are responsible for insurance, meals, transportation, books, supplies, and personal expenses.
For students in direct, bilateral study abroad programs during the Fall or Spring semesters, the credits taken at the visiting school may count toward Title IV financial aid eligibility. Financial aid, including institutional, state, and federal awards, will first be applied to costs billed by Marywood. Any remaining financial aid may be refunded to the student to help cover other expenses. Students should consult with the Study Abroad Coordinator to review program costs and then meet with the Financial Aid Office for more details before traveling.
- Form Completion Before Travel Students must have all courses that they plan to take abroad
approved by their Advisor, Department Chairs, as necessary, the Study Abroad
Associate Director and finally by the Marywood Registrar office prior to their
study abroad program. All
Application and Enrollment Forms (including fully approved Transfer of
Credit forms) on the Marywood Study Abroad website must be completed no
later than two-weeks before travel. If the student does not have these
complete, he/she will be WITHDRAWN from the study abroad program yet
will be responsible for all non-recoverable costs that are associated with it.
- U.S. State Department Travel Advisory In
general, students are not permitted to participate in study abroad
programs in a country where the United States State Department has
issued a Travel Warning noted under Category 4 "Do Not Travel" (as opposed to an Advisory-Categories 1-3). For more
