Insurance
Health and accident insurance is mandatory
in Switzerland; therefore, non-Swiss
resident students are required to take thehealth and accident insurance provided byGlion, which covers them while on campus
and on internship. However, if students
have a private, valid insurance coverage
equivalent to the Swiss health insurance
coverage scheme, they are required tofollow the procedure to become exemptedby the Swiss authorities (information about
exemption and the validation of foreign
insurance plans is available from theAdmissions Department).
Students under a European health insurance
scheme who wish to use this coverage
whilst studying at Glion are required toprovide a valid copy of their personal
health insurance card to have the healthinsurance fee deducted from their invoice
for the semester. If students fail to complete
this procedure prior to their registration on
campus, they will automatically be registered
for the insurance provided by Glion at themost competitive rate, which may vary fromone semester to another.
Students who have been granted theexemption by Swiss authorities areresponsible for verifying the validity of
their private health and accident insurance
coverage in Switzerland and on internship in
Switzerland or abroad; Glion will not cover
any health or accident-related expenses.

Exchanges
Personal and private insurance, tocover issues such as damage or theftof personal property, is not mandatory
but is strongly recommended and is thestudent’s responsibility. Glion cannot
be held responsible for the theft ofpersonal belongings, student damage
or third-party insurance. The healthinsurance fee invoice for the internshipsemester(s) will be sent with the invoice
for the previous on-campus semester.

Internships
All students are requested to complete
their internship(s) in establishments
approved by Glion. The main objective isto prepare students for their professional
careers by developing their managerial,
entrepreneurial and personal skills to thefullest through interesting and challenging
internships. Glion has established excellent
relationships within the hospitality andtourism industries, and a wide choice oftraining opportunities is offered to students
in large, medium or small companies in
Switzerland and/or abroad. However, somecountries can be restricted by government
visa/ work permit policies and/or language
requirements. Although internships aregenerally paid by the employer, theremuneration received cannot be expected
to finance studies at Glion.

As part of their academic program at Glion,
students may be offered the opportunity
to study in another Glion or Les Roches
campus (Les Roches is a sister school also
accredited by NECHE with campuses in
Switzerland and Spain). Such opportunities
are subject to approval by Glion as per
selection criteria determined by Glion at its
sole discretion. The opportunity to study ina Les Roches campus is however limited
to one semester across the program (andpossible during certain semesters only). As alimited number of students may benefit fromthese opportunities each semester, Glion
does not guarantee that any student may
benefit from these opportunities. Students
interested in such opportunities mustcomply with the then-current procedures
and deadlines (files are reviewed by Glion ona first come first served basis).
In case of acceptance, the student will pay
the tuition and other fees applicable for theconcerned semester(s) directly to the hostcampus according to the rates applicableat the host campus for the concerned
semester. Glion does not guarantee thatany scholarship granted by the Glion home
campus will be maintained by the host
campus if any. Students will also be solely
responsible for any other expenses incurred,
such as but not limited to travel expenses,
visa fees and any other private arrangement
for the semester(s) in the concerned hostcampus. Students are usually given a week

after official acceptance to cancel theirexchange without incurring any fee. After
this deadline, a cancellation fee applies.
During their exchange semester(s), student
shall at all times comply with all rules,regulations and policies of the host campus,
as they may be revised from time to time,
including without limitation those related toacademic, disciplinary, residency or financial
matters.

earned at a Les Roches host campus willbe transferred back to the student’s Glion
home campus but not the grades earned.
Therefore, the semester average will becalculated from the semesters spent in Glion
locations only. Upon successful completionof the program, students will be delivered
their degree by their Glion home campus.

Transfers
Glion also offers the opportunity topermanently transfer to another Glion or
Les Roches campus. Such opportunities
are subject to standard admission rulesof the host institution and availability.
