Students are expected to arrive several days before classes for orientation and scheduling. Communication majors are restricted to the spring semester February 15 through June 10. Meal costs are paid to QMC or students can prepare their own meals. Students are responsible for air fare, personal expenses, medical insurance and passport fees. Financial assistance granted by SRU can be used to defray costs.
Travel scholarships are available.
It is in the student's best interest to also consider purchasing an international student I.D. card. The I.D. card provides worldwide student discounts, additional medical insurance and emergency evacuation services. If selected, students and their parents will be prepared for the experience in Scotland. An orientation session will focus on QMC, Scotland, budgeting, academic scheduling and air travel. Handouts will be provided with all the necessary information, including addresses and necessary phone numbers in order to make the Scottish semester enjoyable and educationally rewarding.
