Study Abroad Eligibility and Requirements

• Once you've been accepted for study abroad, you will be handed a payment slip. Keep this slip handy when you make your first payment at the Bursar's Office.
• From the first payment deadline (also called the "commitment date") onwards, participants are responsible for paying the complete, non-refundable study abroad program fees.
• Some CCBC study abroad program insurance policies include limited cancellation coverage under certain circumstances; others do not carry cancellation coverage. Participants are responsible for requesting and reviewing program insurance coverage to ascertain whether it meets their needs and may purchase additional insurance coverage independently if they choose to do so.

• If you are interested in receiving extra financial aid for study abroad, you must enroll in an associated credit course and earn a passing final grade at the end of the semester. This means you will need to show up for all class meetings and complete all class assignments. This financial aid is only available for current CCBC students.
• If you have received financial aid for study abroad and wish to withdraw, notify Financial Aid immediately. Depending on when you withdraw, you may have to repay some or all of your financial aid.
• If all or part of a sum promised on a student's loan transfer form ultimately is not available for study abroad and the program's commitment date has passed, the student is still responsible for paying the remainder of the program fee in full. No payment refunds are available.
• CCBC reserves the right to suspend students at risk of harming others or otherwise behaving against our student code of conduct. This could result in you failing the class or being financially responsible for the class, even if you are receiving financial aid.

For the best chances of getting a refund, cancel before the first payment deadline.

• If, for any reason, you wish to cancel your participation in study abroad, notify us as soon as possible. You will need to submit a formal request with your name, ID number, program title, program location and date.
• Refunds are not guaranteed, and regular CCBC withdrawal/add/drop deadlines do not apply to study abroad.
• If you wish to cancel after making your first payment, you may pursue a claim with the program insurance policy if it includes applicable cancellation provisions.
• If CCBC cancels a study abroad program due to insufficient enrollment, which would occur on or soon after the first payment due date, participants will be fully refunded any payments made to date.

Your name and email address may be shared with fellow participants. If you wish that your information is kept private, let us know in writing, and we will opt you out.

By agreeing to participate in this program, you are waiving all rights of access and giving CCBC permission to use photographs or other media taken during the program for CCBC print and web publications. If you wish to opt out, let us know in writing.

It is the joint responsibility of CCBC's Global Education program and Study Abroad service providers to ensure the safety of our students and travelers.

We regularly monitor travel alerts, warnings and recommendations issued by the US Department of State, World Health Organization and Centers for Disease Control. We carefully watch the world situation and confer with colleagues in the US and abroad, sharing information with our participants and their designated emergency contacts as needed. We also work closely with our study abroad, travel and insurance providers.

CCBC shall not be liable for any loss whatsoever to program participants as a result of changes or cancellations due to a Department of State travel warning, hostile activity, acts of war or terrorism, social or civil unrest, a natural disaster or a similar emergency either in the US or abroad.

If, at any time, your contact information, address, academic status, disciplinary status or program of study changes, let us know immediately!
