Chicago's programs were created for and are open to regularly registered University of Chicago students. They are open to and appropriate for students in all majors who are in good academic standing. Most participants in these programs are third-year students. A fair number are in their second year.
Students remain registered at Chicago while taking part in Chicago's programs.
They pay regular College tuition plus a modest study abroad administrative fee and, for some programs, a program fee. They retain their normal eligibility for financial aid. They receive full credit for their work abroad. This credit will usually appear as course titles with units and grades on the students' transcripts.
