Study at Another School

Many other institutions and approved or ganizations offer courses during the month of January that are appropriately within the spirit of Winter Term. DePauw students may spend Winter Term on the campus of another 4-1-4 college or participate in a project sponsored by another organization. (For convenience, we group these projects under the rubric "Study at Another School.")

   

PLEASE READ THESE GUIDELINES CAREFULLY
 
  1 After you have selected a project taking place at another institution or approved organization, you need to confirm that you may register for the Winter Term at that institution. Request a confirmation letter (most likely from that institution's Admissions Office or Registrar's Office), which you must submit to the Winter Term office with your application form. You will also need to provide a copy of the course description from that institution's webpage or catalog.

You are responsible for all registration and other fees at the other institution. Sometimes an exchange with no additional tuition may be made if a student from that institution wishes to participate in a DePauw Winter Term course.
 
  2 Important Deadline, Friday, October 31, 2008: Fill out and sign the application form. Be sure to indicate the specific dates you will be at the school, organization, or project. Submit the application form, confirmation letter, course description, and release form (which must be signed by you and your parents) to the Winter Term Office for approval no later October 31, 2008.

Note: You may not change off-campus projects after the application deadline. If a problem requires your withdrawal from this Winter Term project after registration, and if you intend to fulfill a Winter Term commitment this year, you must register for an alternative on-campus course.
 
  3 Student Support Applications: If you intend to complete a project at another school or organization and wish to apply for an award from the Winter Term Student Support Program, you must submit the Student Support Application by October 31, 2008. There is a separate application form for Student Financial Support, which is available in the Winter Term Office, and online.
 
4

Orientation: Students who are completing projects at another school or organization will be expected to attend one of the Winter Term off-campus orientation sessions, which will be held during the second week in November.

 
  5 Registration: You will be enrolled by the Winter Term office. Only students who have submitted all of the necessary documents will be registered.
 
  6 Reflective Summary: After completing your project or course, prepare and submit to the Winter Term office a 3-5 page reflective, synthesizing paper summarizing your experience by the start of second semester classes.
 
  7 Confirmation: In order to receive credit for your project, you must also submit to the Winter Term office by the beginning of February an official confirmation of completion (transcript, certificate, etc.) from the school or organization.
