For all Olivet-sponsored or recognized programs Olivet’s Office of Student Accounts will pay for the cost of the student’s program once invoiced (students are responsible to pay for the program deposit). We will then reverse the Olivet general fee and full-time tuition charges for that semester, and charge the student’s account for the specified cost of the selected program. We will charge the student a $250 “Undergraduate Off-Campus Study Fee.” For Sponsored programs a student may use up to $2,500 of ONU institutional aid toward the tuition.

To participate in any off-campus study program, it is recommended that a student be in sophomore status with good academic standing at Olivet. The student initiates the process with completion of the Off-Campus Study Clearance form and approval of the Off-Campus Study Coordinator. Student must then have the approval of the Office of Student Financial Services, Dean of Students and his/her academic advisor. A student may take up to 18 semester hours through cross-registration at the undergraduate level and six hours at the graduate level. All other program-specific requirements must be met prior to application.
