Examples of these experiences could be language institute credit, work or volunteer experiences. The decision as to how the transferred courses will fit into your degree requirements of your Allegheny degree is made by your academic department. If you are considering a non-Allegheny program, it is especially important to find out before you go abroad if Allegheny will accept these credits as transfer units, and whether or not they will help you graduate. The program fee always includes tuition, and students will be charged Allegheny tuition. Depending on the program, students may pay for room and board directly to the host institution.
Students are always responsible for their own airfare.
Other programs will bill Allegheny for the airfare, which in turn will be charged to the student. This fee helps offset the cost of special records maintenance, correspondence and credit transfer. Students will be billed by Allegheny for their sponsored programs at the same time that bills for the next semester are going out to students remaining on campus. It is important to note that the general program literature on sponsored programs may provide prices that are different than what students pay when they go through Allegheny. This is because program sponsors do not make information handouts specific to the various institutions they work with.
