Application checklist

Review the list of active off-campus programs, noting your desired program's cost, location, travel information, and other important details.

  • Calvin semester programs: 2.5 GPA, sophomore status or above
  • Calvin Short-term programs: 2.0 GPA, sophomore status or above
  • Non-Calvin programs: varies – refer to specific program details 

Post-Graduation Participation: If you wish to participate in an off-campus program during the summer after completing your undergraduate program, you have two options:

  1. Push back your program completion date to the next graduation date (e.g. May graduation date moves to August). Then register for the off-campus program and receive academic credit.
  2. Apply with Admissions as a guest student. You would then register for the course without affecting your original graduation date. If you wish to receive academic credit, you will be charged the regular course fee (program cost + tuition). If you wish to audit the course, you will be charged the program cost + visitor fee (no tuition).
  3. If you want to participate in the trip, but do not need academic credit or evidence of attendance on a transcript, you may pay the program cost and visitor fee and do not need to apply as a guest through Admissions.

Give yourself plenty of time before the program application deadline. The application process is all online, but it takes time for final approval since approvals are required from various departments across campus.

Note that individual semester programs may have modified or additional deadlines to be aware of. Consult the program descriptions for any additional details specific to the program you're applying to join.

For programs outside the U.S., make sure you have a passport valid for at least six months beyond the return date of your program. 

If you need a new passport or other passport services, visit the U.S. Department of State website.
