Summer, Winter, and PC Faculty-Led

For traditional summer or winter study abroad programs, students receive two (2) invoices for study abroad.

Invoice 1: Students pay the $200 PC Short-Term Program Study Abroad Fee to Providence College.

Invoice 2: Students pay all other program costs (including tuition, housing, health insurance, orientation) directly to the program provider or host institution.
For PC faculty-led programs, students pay all program costs to Providence College. The $200 PC Short-Term Program Study Abroad Fee is waived for students participating in short-term faculty-led programs.

As mentioned in the above section, all students participating in a summer or winter program (non PC Faculty-led) are assessed a $200 study abroad fee. Students who participate in a credit-bearing summer or winter intersession program not led by Providence College faculty or staff must be approved by the Center for Global Education.

With this fee, students:

• Are provided with review of their program selection by the Center for Global Education for acceptable academic and safety standards.
• Have the ability to transfer credits from short-term study abroad to Providence College. The fee also allows for the processing and posting of academic credit to their PC transcript. This is done by the Office of Enrollment Services provided that the student receives a grade of “C” or higher. Grades will appear as “T” for transfer credit and will not be factored into the cumulative GPA.
• Receive departmental and Core Curriculum Committee review, articulation, and approval of courses taken abroad.
• Have access, while abroad, to the services and assistance of the Center for Global Education. They will also have access to the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate and Graduate Studies resources.
• Have access, while abroad, to CyberFriar, Sakai, HELIN Library Catalog and Subject Databases, as well as their PC email account.

PC will not waive the fee for study abroad students participating in non-PC international summer or winter intersession programs.

Students should budget for other expenses not included in their program’s cost. These expenses can include passport and visa fees, roundtrip airfare, independent travel, meals (in most cases), textbooks, gym memberships, cellphone expenses, etc.
