Faculty-Led Study Trips
Study trips are led by SAIC faculty members and are usually 2-3 or 5-6 weeks in length during the winter and summer interims. The type and number of credits vary for each study trip. For example, one may be for 3 Art History credit hours or 3 Studio credit hours, or a combination of both for 6 credit hours; in summer, 9 credit options are also available. Eligible students may apply for Financial Aid and loans to cover a portion of the cost of the trip. Study trips have an earlier registration date than on-campus winter and summer classes, so plan early if you are interested in signing-up for a trip.
ONLINE REGISTRATION
Registration for winter & summer study trips is done ONLINE via SAIC Self-Service.
Your SAIC study abroad experience is only 3 steps away!
- Pre-registration, via SAIC Self-Service beginning February 8.
- Registration and Deposit Payment, via SAIC Self-Service beginning March 8.
- Study Trip Forms, completed online- after you’ve registered
See our Prezi for an overview here.
Step 1: Pre-registration
Step1 is mandatory for all students who plan to register for a study trip. It’s the only way to move to Step 2 (Registration & Deposit Payment). If you are still researching options, Step 1 can help you decide- it is an easy process with important information that applies to all SAIC faculty-led study trips. You can access Step 1 by clicking the Study Trip link under Academics in SAIC Self-Service.
Completing Step 1 does not register you for a study trip. In reviewing the details under each tab/section and indicating your agreement, you will be confirming your eligibility and accepting the terms of participation should you eventually register for a trip. After successfully completing Step 1, you will receive email notification with more details about Step 2 (Registration & Deposit Payment).
Step 2: Registration & Deposit Payment
On-line registration begins:
Thursday, March 8, 2012 for Summer 2012
Times:
8:45 a.m. for Grads, Post-Baccs, Seniors and Juniors
12:00 p.m. for Sophomores
Study Trips can be selected in the same way you usually register for on-campus courses, until each trip is full. Credit type and the amount of credits (e.g. 3 cr. studio and/or 3 cr. art history) will be added to your registration later.
You must have already completed Step 1 to access study trip registration (Step 2). Check your account in advance and clear any holds that may prevent your ability to register. A waiting list will be available if the trip is already full.
Some study trips require an additional application process as specified on the SAIC Portal. For these trips, only those students who are pre-approved by the faculty trip leaders will be allowed to register on-line on March 8. If a pre-approved applicant does not secure his/her place by registering and paying the deposit by the required deadline, the spot will be made available to other students. Note: pre-approved applicants must also complete Step 1 prior to registering.
Study Trip Deposit:
After you successfully register, you must pay a non-refundable deposit of $500 (or $250 for most domestic study trips) within 36 hours of your registration. Payment can be made by credit card (Discover, American Express or MasterCard) or by electronic check (ACH) via the CASHNet link in the My Account section of Self-Service. You may also pay by paper check or money order in US currency at the SAIC Bursar’s office (SP 706E) or the Student Financial Services office (SC 1218). Cash deposits are discouraged. Important: do not pay your deposit before you have successfully registered for the trip because study trip deposits are non-refundable.
Financial Aid Priority:
Summer 2012: February 24, 2012
You submit a financial aid application as part of Step 1 (Pre-registration). If you are eligible for financial aid and you complete Step 1 by the financial aid priority date above, the Financial Services Office will review it and issue a response in time for the registration date. Be aware that any funds awarded will not be available for use as your study trip deposit. Note that this is not the final deadline for FA applications. You can still submit one later, however you may not have a response before the first day of registration.
Step 3: Study Trip Forms Completion
All participants are required to read, understand and sign agreements relating to SAIC study trip policies. After registering, each participant must log back into the Study Trip link Self-Service to complete the on-line study trip forms by a specified due date – usually one week after registration. You may read them in advance to become familiar with SAIC policies.
OTHER information that must be submitted to the Study Abroad office:
- A copy of your passport (for international trips)
