Beyond offering a wide variety of its own off-campus programs, Calvin also supports students who find other programs that they think better meet their needs. Below are non-Calvin programs in which Calvin students regularly participate.
Students participating in these programs may receive Calvin financial and administrative support. Partner programs allow 100 percent of Calvin financial aid to be used for the program, and non-Calvin programs allow students to take 50 percent of Calvin financial aid if they apply for and are awarded a "slot." Students may also choose to participate in programs not on this list, but levels of Calvin support may vary.
If you are interested in studying on a non-Calvin program, you are encouraged to contact the Off-Campus Programs office for additional information. You will need to both complete the Calvin application process and an application for the non-Calvin program. We encourage you to consult this application process checklist for non-Calvin programs as a guide to the application procedure.
Some majors have requirements that cannot be fulfilled through a Calvin program. Students in these majors may choose to participate in a Calvin Partner program.
These programs an allow equal number of students to be exchanged between two schools. For each Calvin student who studies in an overseas institution, a student from that institution may attend Calvin. Students pay Calvin tuition (to Calvin) and are also responsible for other costs such as room and board, transportation, and immunizations.
