Policies and Procedures

You are responsible for gathering and submitting all information related to your study away proposal
and providing any additional information requested.

Study away must take place during the junior year and is limited to one semester.

In order to be considered for study away, and to receive academic credit at Olin you must obtain
approval from your academic adviser and program chair person.

You must be in good academic standing at Olin, and approval to an away program will be contingent
upon your passing all prerequisites for the proposed study away courses.

It is your responsibility to make sure you will take courses and meet all prerequisites both while away
and at Olin to graduate.

You may apply for more than one program but must submit a separate application for each. You must
also rank the programs in order of preference, as well as indicate semester preference.

It is your responsibility to monitor and meet application deadlines.

Grades will not transfer, but will appear as academic credit/no credit on your transcript provided you
receive a grade of B- or higher.

An official transcript from your away program must be mailed directly to the Registrar at Olin College.
This is your responsibility. Unofficial transcripts will not be accepted.

All paperwork and bills must be settled prior to beginning your away experience.

While away from Olin, you must take a full course load; the equivalent of 12 credits at Olin.
