留学计划

安排会议 与全球教育协调员讨论你们的希望和计划。

确定你的优先事项。 你希望从校外学习经历中获得什么？ Where do you want to go? 你想学什么课程？ What kind of program would be the best match for you? 你想沉浸在语言中吗？ Would you prefer to live with a family or in a dorm or apartment? Is travel in additional to the program requirements important to you? 出国留学将如何融入你的学术和职业规划？

检查你的课程表。 花点时间和你的指导老师一起看看你的核心、专业和毕业要求。 利用各种记录工具来评估你的学术计划。 Think about which semester you can study away from Covenant and what classes you should take while you are away. 确保你在国外的这一学期能让你早日毕业，而不是拖延。

研究校外学习项目。 在全球教育办公室查看课程材料或在网上搜索。 比较几个程序。 与之前的参与者交谈。 Meet with representatives when they visit campus. Consider special programs like the Critical Language Summer program, which is fully funded.

哪个项目最能实现你的个人和学业目标？ Is the program financially feasible (what are the additional costs)? What additional preparation will you need before you go?

契约批准的项目或休假？
Students will remain full‐time Covenant students and be eligible to receive external and institutional financial aid only by participating in an approved off‐campus study program.

然而，如果你有能力并且有愿望…… by taking a leave of absence from Covenant College there are a multitude of options to study off‐campus in locations throughout the globe covering all academic subjects under the sun.
这里有几个网站可以让你开始：

Your final 32 credits must be taken at 威尼斯人平台 or through a Covenant-approved program, so do not plan to take a leave of absence during your senior year. If you choose to take a leave of absence, your financial aid will be reinstated upon your return as closely as possible, according to federal guidelines, to their previous amounts. Credits will not automatically transfer to Covenant, so be sure to work closely with your academic advisor and the Office of Records before taking a LOA.

填写并提交申请 以及主办机构要求的其他文件。 You must remain in good academic and behavioral standing to study abroad. Begin this process early, so you are able to give your recommenders plenty of time, and meet deadlines for housing and course selection.

财务规划。 Meet with Brenda Rapier in the financial aid office to ensure you and your parents/guardians understand the aid you will receive while abroad. 更多关于经济援助的信息可以在这里找到.

选择类。 Work closely with your advisor and the records office to ensure that your coursework will transfer to Covenant and that you will graduate according to your plan. Take course descriptions and syllabi of the classes you intend to take to the head of the academic department in which you wish to receive credit. Heads of academic departments must approve classes that transfer in as particular courses within a department. The dean of records must approve all classes which transfer in as core requirements. (i.e. The head of the history department would need to approve a history class that you wish to count as HIS 212. The dean of records must approve a class that you wish to count as CHOW II.)

If you change classes, either before you depart to study abroad or after you register at the host institution, you must notify Covenant of the changes in order to ensure that the credits will transfer appropriately.

你已经被自己选择的课程录取了，现在怎么办？
出国留学出境前清单

“On a personal note, I became more independent (you don't have a chance to run every decision by your parents, like I did before), more relaxed/go-with-the-flow, I got to try so many new things and travel a ton. On a educational note, I was able to learn so much about the culture, the language and the people.
During my time in 西班牙, I deepened my fluency in 西班牙语 and grew more aware of the importance of cultural sensitivity. I became more independent, more decisive, and I improved my problem solving skills.”
