Grades are assigned by the resident director in consultation with British faculty. Grades are recorded on students' official transcripts but only the seminar taught by the resident director counts toward the Colby grade-point average. In addition to the weekly theater outings that constitute the heart of the cultural program, Colby in London also offers several overnight excursions and one-day trips designed to help students get acquainted with each other and with the history and culture of the British Isles. Walking tours and group visits to noted historical and cultural London sites are an important part of two courses, and students are encouraged to visit museums, attend concerts, and explore further on their own. Colby in London has no sports facilities or teams, but students who wish to enroll in private fitness centers in London may do so, and Colby will reimburse a portion of the fee.
Religious services are available in London for almost every religion.
