Financial
Aid and Study Abroad
The University of Indianapolis participates in the College Consortium
for International Studies. This program provides study abroad opportunities
as a part of the college experience. Some federal and state financial
aid may be available for students who choose to study abroad through
the College Consortium for International Studies.
- To be eligible for study abroad, students must have completed at
least 24 credit hours on the main campus in Indianapolis.
- Students must be full-time regular, degree-seeking students on the
main campus in Indianapolis and must be in good academic standing.
- Students may choose from internal programs, which currently include
(1) the CCIS programs, (2) Intercollege or (3) the University of Indianapolis
Athens, or an accredited and approved external program.
- Students may receive federal and state aid for which they are eligible
for the study abroad enrollment period in internal programs only.
Financial aid will be based on the cost of attendance at the host
institution.
- University travel grants may be awarded for study abroad. Other
university assistance (institutional aid) will not be available for
study abroad.
- University payment plans are not available for study abroad.
- An administrative fee of $150 will be assessed for each semester
of study abroad, including the Athens and Cyprus campuses.
- Credit for the courses taken at a study abroad institution are given
on the same basis (in terms of instructional time) as the main campus.
Grades are posted as S or U for CCIS programs.
Courses at UI international campuses are assigned as direct credit
with a letter grade reflected on the UI academic transcript.
- The study abroad experience is limited to two semesters, or one
semester and one summer session for a student pursuing a baccalaureate
degree or one semester for a student pursuing an associate degree
before the senior (final) year, or as required by the student's degree
program. Approval for study abroad during the senior year may be granted
upon petition.
