Please advise your students the following:

•  College's Cancellation and Refund Policy

• Judicial Affairs Form, which students need to complete once they register for a study/travel course. The form authorizes release of information from a student’s conduct record to the Office of International Education and the student’s J-term study/travel course instructor(s). Additionally, judicial infractions occurring between the time a student signs the form and departs on the J-term course will be reported to the OIE and to the instructor. If you have a recently added student, please advise him/her to complete this form in a timely manner.
