Institutional Approval- Check with your study abroad office regarding your institution's study abroad application process. Many colleges require that students first receive approval from their home institution before applying to study abroad programs.
Academic Credit - A Pitzer Program is generally equivalent to a U.S. college or university semester with four courses (16 semester units; 24 quarter units). Summer programs are usually worth two courses (8-semester credits or 12 quarter units). Upon completion of the program, grades will be submitted to the Pitzer College Office of the Registrar, where they will be recorded on an official Pitzer College transcript and sent to the non-Pitzer student's host institution. Transcripts are generally available two to three months after the program ends. Before participating, students should understand their home campus policy for awarding credit and translating grades from a Pitzer College study abroad program.
Costs - Many schools allow students to apply their financial aid funds to a study abroad program. Check with your study abroad or financial aid office for specifics on your institution’s policy. Pitzer does not offer financial aid to non-Pitzer students.
