Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­

Office of the Registrar Off-Campus Programs

Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ offers faculty-led semester-long off-campus programs. To accommodate a range of needs and interests, programs are offered on a rotating schedule. In addition, Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ offers a variety of faculty-led Mayterm and third party summer programs. A complete list of current off-campus programs can be found here.

  1. A student with a GPA of 2.30 or higher may apply for a Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­-led off-campus program. This will not be considered as a break in residence. Applications must be processed through the Global Education Office.
  2. Off-campus programs sponsored by a particular department for major credit may set their own minimum GPA requirement providing it is above 2.30.
  3. Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ financial aid (institutional grants, scholarship and loans) may be used for any semester-long Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ off campus program. 
  4. Tuition for Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­-operated off-campus programs is the same as tuition on campus. Additional charges vary by program and are available through the Global Education Office. Students who participate in these programs through Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ are considered to be Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ students. Therefore, they retain their standing and class priority for returning enrollment and class selection. 
  5. Courses, units, and grades are posted to the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ transcript and computed into the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ GPA for all work completed while enrolled on an off-campus program.
  6. Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ reserves the right to limit the number of students participating in off-campus programs each semester.
  7. Students planning to be off-campus during their Junior year should complete their application for degree before leaving.
  8. Students should contact the Student Financial Services Office regarding financial arrangements and Housing Office regarding living arrangements.
  9. If a student's major requires an off campus program run by another program or university, they must ask their academic advisor to submit a written request to ocp@westmont.edu for approval. If a student does not have such a requirement for their major but wishes to attend a non-Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ program through another institution they must apply for a leave of absence from Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ and attend the program independently. Please contact the Global Education office for more information.
