| 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.
- A trip is a Castleton State College trip if:
- Castleton faculty and staff are the persons planning, leading and dealing with the details in-country; or
- Castleton credit is offered but someone else (Wisdom Tours or EF tours) is dealing with the trip/travel details.
Where neither of these conditions obtain, the course is not a Castleton trip. This is not an assignation of value but rather a legal classification that governs where we would assume liability and where we would not. ALL Castleton students involved on any trips must sign a travel waiver and the trip leader must fill out a travel itinerary and host contact information sheet and submit it to the Associate Deans’ office
- 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.
BUDGET NOTES:
- The tuition charges will follow the Castleton contract rate during the summer. The college reserves the right to change the rate as it sees fit, but once set, the rate will hold for a complete academic year.
- Full tuition is paid for those credits offered during the spring or winter semester. The occasional January travel course, in the absence of a J-term, will be booked into the spring semester, but such a course will be charged at the contract rate.
- The extra costs for the course are added to the course in the form of a ‘lab fee.'
