Office of the Registrar Off-Campus Programs
Ðǿմ«Ã½ offers faculty-led semester-long off-campus programs. To accommodate a range of needs and interests, programs are offered on a rotating schedule. In addition, Ðǿմ«Ã½ offers a variety of faculty-led Mayterm and third party summer programs. A complete list of current off-campus programs can be found here.
- A student with a GPA of 2.30 or higher may apply for a Ðǿմ«Ã½-led off-campus program. This will not be considered as a break in residence. Applications must be processed through the Global Education Office.
- Off-campus programs sponsored by a particular department for major credit may set their own minimum GPA requirement providing it is above 2.30.
- Ðǿմ«Ã½ financial aid (institutional grants, scholarship and loans) may be used for any semester-long Ðǿմ«Ã½ off campus program.
- Tuition for Ðǿմ«Ã½-operated off-campus programs is the same as tuition on campus. Additional charges vary by program and are available through the Global Education Office. Students who participate in these programs through Ðǿմ«Ã½ are considered to be Ðǿմ«Ã½ students. Therefore, they retain their standing and class priority for returning enrollment and class selection.
- Courses, units, and grades are posted to the Ðǿմ«Ã½ transcript and computed into the Ðǿմ«Ã½ GPA for all work completed while enrolled on an off-campus program.
- Ðǿմ«Ã½ reserves the right to limit the number of students participating in off-campus programs each semester.
- Students planning to be off-campus during their Junior year should complete their application for degree before leaving.
- Students should contact the Student Financial Services Office regarding financial arrangements and Housing Office regarding living arrangements.
- If a student's major requires an off campus program run by another program or university, they must ask their academic advisor to submit a written request to ocp@westmont.edu for approval. If a student does not have such a requirement for their major but wishes to attend a non-Ðǿմ«Ã½ program through another institution they must apply for a leave of absence from Ðǿմ«Ã½ and attend the program independently. Please contact the Global Education office for more information.
