Study Away
Centenary University encourages qualified students at the second semester sophomore, junior, or senior level who are in good academic standing, to consider a Study Away option. Those students who are interested in pursuing this opportunity should initially contact the Coordinator of Study Away where an application may be obtained. The application should be completed at least two semesters before the intended semester away.
In order for financial aid and scholarship funds to be applied, the student must participate in a program at a site approved by Centenary University. There is a limit to the amount of Centenary scholarship or grants a student may receive while studying away, and the Financial Aid Office should be consulted.
Once a formal program of study has been formulated and endorsed by the student’s academic advisor, the Study Away Review Board will review the application. Students who have a minimum grade point average of 2.5 may explore this option. Similar procedures apply to summer study and winter intersession programs.
If accepted, the student agrees to participate in the Study Away Program, giving their best effort on behalf of Centenary University. The student is obligated to pay Centenary University full‐time tuition, room and board, and mandatory fees following acceptance into the program. The refund policy of the host institution will apply. It is understood that cultural differences are inherent to the Study Away program, and a level of maturity is necessary to handle the challenges the student will face. Not all applicants are accepted into the Study Away program and, if accepted, the student must make a commitment to complete the program and accept the financial obligations.
Students applying for the Study Away program must be enrolled as full‐time traditional undergraduate students while studying abroad/off‐campus. The Study Away Program is highly competitive. In addition to being accepted into Centenary’s program, students must also be accepted by the receiving institution.
