Study Abroad Procedures (for Faculty and Staff)
PROCEDURES
- Courses are first reviewed and endorsed by the Castleton department in which they are offered or, in the case of London, developed by the faculty leading the trip.
- Budgets for travel courses need to be developed and approved before the registration period for it starts. Please submit the budgets to Renny Harrigan who will consult with the Budget Office and approve them.
- A contract with the college must be signed before advertising begins for a summer or January course. There is no contract, and therefore no course, until the agreement is signed.
- If there are not enough students signed up for a single course at the end of the registration period, the course will be cancelled. Other deadlines apply to the longer courses (London) and will be set by the faculty leading them.
- Castleton students are normally expected to have a 2.5 GPA to qualify for international study programs although there may be reasons to accept a student who has furnished references with a lower GPA. Students should provide a copy of their transcript (available through the portal) when they apply.
- In all cases, the minimal expectation is that each Castleton student be a student in good standing, both academically and socially, as outlined by the Code of Conduct in the Student Handbook. If they are not in good standing, they will not be permitted to travel.
- Each leader will be supplied with a P-card before departure.
