Eligibility Requirements
- Applicants must be in good academic standing (2.0 or higher GPA) by the end of the fall semester before departure.
- The Dean of Students reviews the disciplinary records of all applicants. Students may apply while currently under probation, as long as their sanctions will be completed before their program begins. Students with problematic disciplinary histories might not be approved, whether they are currently on probation or not. Students placed on disciplinary probation after being approved or who have not completed all imposed sanctions prior to departure may have that approval revoked.
- Certain programs are open to students from other colleges and universities.
Applications and Deadlines
- Students apply to a program and for funding within the same application.
- Applications open December 1.
- Applications and $500 deposit are due January, the first Wednesday of classes.
- Applications will be reviewed after the deadline and students will be notified of their acceptance status and funding allocation by January 25.
- Program Confirmation forms are due February 1.
- Please note: Due to course and program caps, some programs may not accept all applicants who meet the eligibility requirements.
Deposits
The $500 deposit is due January, the first Wednesday of classes and can be paid in two ways:
- By CashNet: Select this option when completing the online application which will take you to the CashNet page.
- By Check: Make check payable to Hampden-Sydney College, add the program's name on the memo line and deliver or mail to the Hampden-Sydney Business Office (Box 127, Hampden-Sydney College, Hampden-Sydney, VA 23943).
Please be aware that a completed Program Confirmation form and payment of a $500 deposit constitute an agreement by the student to participate fully in the program and an obligation to pay all program fees. The Office of Global Education has the authorization to begin making payments to airlines, hotels, and other service providers on the student's behalf from the date of the deposit. For more information, see the Cancellation and Refund Policy below.
Passports
Students attending H-SC IN programs abroad must have a passport in-hand by March 1. Students are strongly advised to apply/renew before winter break. Not sure if you need to renew your passport or applying for the first time? Access Worldkind's short, interactive module:
More Information
A signed Program Confirmation form and payment of a $500 deposit constitute an agreement by the student to participate fully in the program and an obligation to pay all program fees. The Office of Global Education has the authorization to begin making payments to airlines, hotels, and other service providers on the student's behalf from the date of the deposit.
The deposit is refundable in three cases: (1) if the program is cancelled by the College, (2) if an accepted student withdraws by February 1 using the Program Confirmation form, or (3) if a student who has completed an application is not accepted to the program. Reasons for rejection include, but are not limited to GPA, lack of a pre-requisite, or disciplinary record concern; rejections are made at the discretion of the program faculty and the director of Global Education.
Students accepted to the program who wish to withdraw must notify the director of Global Education as soon as the decision to withdraw is made using the appropriate form. In all voluntary withdrawal cases or in the case of students who are removed from the program after acceptance for any reason (such as violation of the Honor Code/Code of Student Conduct, failure to attend pre-departure training sessions required by the Global Education office, not submitting on time the pre-departure materials required by H-SC and/or the program’s on-site provider), the $500 non-refundable deposit will be forfeited and any reduction in fees or refunds will amount only to the expenses that H-SC is able to recover or have not already been spent on behalf of the student.
In the event an unexpected emergency occurs within 30 days before the first day of the program, students must provide a physician's certification that the student's condition prohibits participation. As with the above, refunds will be limited to only those funds Hampden-Sydney is able to recover or that have not already been spent on behalf of the student.
