The University of San Diego International Center STRONGLY DISCOURAGES students from participating in a non-affiliated program for two main reasons:
- Loss of financial aid package – students participating in a non-affiliated program will not be eligible to receive any USD financial aid.
- No grades will be transferred – students participating in a non-affiliated program will not earn grades for the coursework and will only earn credit. This may affect graduation requirements.
Students wishing to pursue the opportunity to participate in a non-affiliated program should follow the subsequent steps:
- Select a program of interest and print information about the program
- Complete the Participation Request Form
- Meet with an International Studies Abroad Advisor in the USD International Center to review your program of interest. Bring program material and completed Participation Request Form with you.
