Office of the Registrar Off-Campus Programs
Westmont 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, Westmont offers a variety of faculty-led Mayterm and third party summer programs. A complete list of current off-campus programs can be found here.
- A student with a GPA of 2.30 or higher may apply for a Westmont-led off-campus program. This will not be considered as a break in residence. Applications must be processed through the Global Education Office.
- Off-campus programs sponsored by a particular department for major credit may set their own minimum GPA requirement providing it is above 2.30.
- Westmont financial aid (institutional grants, scholarship and loans) may be used for any semester-long Westmont off campus program.
- Tuition for Westmont-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 Westmont are considered to be Westmont students. Therefore, they retain their standing and class priority for returning enrollment and class selection.
- Courses, units, and grades are posted to the Westmont transcript and computed into the Westmont GPA for all work completed while enrolled on an off-campus program.
- Westmont reserves the right to limit the number of students participating in off-campus programs each semester.
- Students planning to be off-campus during their Junior year should complete their application for degree before leaving.
- Students should contact the Student Financial Services Office regarding financial arrangements and Housing Office regarding living arrangements.
- 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-Westmont program through another institution they must apply for a leave of absence from Westmont and attend the program independently. Please contact the Global Education office for more information.
