We’re excited to have you join SiPN for the upcoming semester or summer! Below you will find information pertinent for the application process.
At the time of application, all study abroad applicants are expected to meet the following requirements:
In waitlist situations, SiPN favors applicants from partner institutions.
SiPN accepts applications until the deadlines below. Home university or school may have its own study abroad deadline, so students should be sure to check with their advisors about any internal application processes they must complete in addition to applying directly to SiPN.
Note: Applications must be complete to be reviewed for admission. This means that all application materials and application fees must all be submitted to the SiPN office in a timely manner, no later than 10 weekdays after the general application deadline.
All students will be required to submit a course pre-approval sheet as part of their application process. At the end of the semester, the SiPN On-Site Coordinator will receive transcripts from the local university where you took classes. SiPN will then develop a packet for each student that includes:
These materials will then be sent back to the student’s provided address, usually registrar/study abroad advisor at their home university for credit transfer processing.
For all member schools, transcripts are generally sent within 60 days after the last final exams (2ª fase). Fall semester grades therefore typically go out around late March; Spring semester grades are only sent in early-mid October and Summer session grades also in October.
Note: final exam calendars vary slightly from school to school.
It happens to many students: they plan to study abroad a semester, then once they’re abroad they wish they could stay the entire year. The good news is they can! If allowed by their home university, students have the opportunity to apply to extend your time abroad with SiPN.
In addition to that, SiPN offers substantial discounts for staying a full year or extending into the summer! Combining terms of study (e.g. a semester plus a summer program) includes a rebate. If students sign up for more than one semester/program/course, you are entitled to a reduction of the Comprehensive Tuition Fee of the second semester/program/course in the following amounts:
REBATES | |
Combination | Rebate US$ |
One semester, fall or spring, plus one summer course | $250 |
One semester, fall or spring, plus two summer courses | $400 |
Two semesters | $1000 |
