In special cases an independent study will be granted to a student in need of a course other than the ones offered in the advanced program. The Director of the program will grant permission for such a course. If you are a graduating senior and plan on walking at commencement in May upon your return from Spain, be sure to complete the following before leaving campus. Have your senior picture taken for Prism in the fall. Additional expenses in Spain may include books, some weekend meals, independent vacation travel, and spending money.
Medical insurance is also the responsibility of the student and parents.
Financial aid Students receiving financial aid on campus are eligible for the same aid for their off-campus semester in Spain. In a limited number of cases, students who do not receive financial aid based on the regular costs at Calvin may be eligible for some assistance because of additional costs of the off-campus program.
