Eligibility
Eligibility
for a Travel Course is
determined by the faculty leading the program
. All first year, sophomore, junior, senior and graduate students must meet prerequisites
established by the faculty. Students are encouraged to contact the faculty group leader
to determine whether they meet eligibility requirements for the Travel Course. Students
who do not receive disciplinary clearance from the Dean of Students will be ineligible
to participate. Students with conduct holds may be required to meet with the Dean
of Students office to be cleared. Applicants must follow all Travel Course deadlines
and requirements.
Credits
Travel Courses are offered for 3 to 4 academic credits. Courses may be lower division,
upper division or graduate level. All credits earned from Travel Courses outside of
the United States may apply towards the
Global Studies Inquiry
of the General Education Program. Domestic Travel Courses do not qualify for the Global
Studies GE.
If you have any questions regarding the academic content or additional on-campus class
requirements of a Travel Course, please contact the leading faculty member(s).
Timeline and Application Process
Interterm Travel Course applications go live on the Global Gateway in mid-August
. Applicants can only apply to one Travel Course per term unless both Travel Course
dates do not overlap.
1. Attend a
Global First Steps
session to learn more;
optional for Travel Course participants and offered weekly during the semester.
2.
To apply, visit the
Global Gateway
for programs currently accepting applications and open an application for your preferred
Travel Course.
Once you open an application, the faculty leader informs the Center for Global Education
if you are authorized to participate. Before the application deadline, you must submit
all pre-decision requirements listed on your Global Gateway application including:
participant’s digitally signed Enrollment Agreement, which will be emailed to you
after receiving faculty authorization.
proof of deposit paid after submitting the Enrollment Agreement.
copy of valid passport or
passport
renewal/application receipt (if international program).
all remaining application materials.
3. The
application deadlines
for Travel Courses are typically
mid-October for Interterm
programs and will be specified on the Travel Course brochure page. Earlier deadlines
may apply to a specific Travel Course, and some Travel Courses may close before the
advertised deadline date if they reach maximum capacity.
4. Once your application is complete and deposit is paid
you are officially committed financially to the program and will be registered on
the official course roster.
The Center for Global Education and faculty leaders will share your next steps with
you including final cost and payment method. The Center for Global Education must
receive proof of payment before you will be allowed to participate in the Travel Course
program.
Cost and Funding
During the recruitment period, the cost of a Travel Course is advertised as a price
range. After recruiting closes, the final participant cost is determined based on
the final number of paying participants.
Once the Center for Global Education receives all pre-decision application materials,
the participant is financially committed to the full cost of the program (not just
the deposit submitted), even if you are not able to participate for any reason.
Details for Travel Course financial policies are outlined in the Enrollment and Financial
Obligation Agreement that will be found on individual Travel Course brochures and
emailed to you once the faculty leader sends their approval of your participation
to the Center for Global Education.
Inclusions:
Program inclusions vary by Travel Course and may include some meals and activities. All
Travel Courses will include accommodations for the duration of the program. Programs
do not include tuition (see below) and typically do not include airfare.
Travel Protection Insurance
is provided by Chapman University
. See
Travel Protection Insurance Overview, FAQs, and How to File a Claim
Deposit:
A non-refundable deposit of $500 or 10% of the total program fee, whichever is higher,
is paid through the Global Gateway AFTER the applicant receives notification from
the Center for Global Education that faculty has provided authorization for the applicant
to join the course and the applicant has successfully submitted their Enrollment Agreement.
Deposits will be deducted from the final participant cost of the Travel Course program.
Further instructions on how to pay the deposit will be included in your application.
Final Payment:
The full program cost of the Travel Course will be determined by the number of participants
enrolled and will never exceed the highest price quoted in the advertised price range.
The
final payment
will be the full program cost minus the deposit paid. The Center for Global Education
will send students instructions on final payment method and deadline. Students must
submit their final payment receipt to the CGE to participate.
Tuition Fees:
Travel Course program costs do not include Chapman University Tuition fees. The most
current Interterm tuition costs can be found through
Student Business Services
During Interterm, Chapman University provides undergraduate students with up to 4
free tuition credits if they are enrolled at Chapman full-time in both the preceding
Fall AND proceeding Spring semesters. Otherwise, students may seek an additional option
(if applicable) by submitting a
One-Time Tuition Waiver
for up to 4 credits to Student Business Services. Student Business Services determines
a student's eligibility.
Scholarships & Budgeting:
Undergraduate Chapman students who identify as First Generation can apply to receive
assistance for travel costs for study abroad. Visit
Chapman's Promising Futures Program
and carefully review eligibility requirements and deadlines.
