Apply to study off-campus during interim
Once you have decided which Off-Campus Interim you would like to apply to, you need to complete the following application materials and return them directly to one of the instructors of the course. Check with the instructor of the interim also to see if they have any other forms for you to complete.
NOTE: Make sure that the course you are interested in is still open to applications BEFORE applying by contacting the program instructor. If you live on-campus, you are eligible for the Interim Travel Grant ($500 if you live on campus the whole year and $250 if you live on campus fall or spring semester). To verify the amount of your reimbursement, please check with the Housing Office.
