Colgate does not maintain a list of approved, non-Colgate summer study abroad programs. Students are welcome to meet with an Off-Campus Study advisor to discuss their plans.  Transfer credit from summer study abroad will only be accepted from U.S. university-led programs, direct enrollment at a foreign university, or from program providers listed on Colgate's Approved Programs list.

Students applying to eligible programs as described above are required to submit a Transfer Credit for Summer/Intersession to the Registrar by May 1 (summer term) or December 1 (intersession).

Students pay summer program providers directly. Colgate financial aid is not available for summer programs.  Off-Campus Study advisors and the Office of National Fellowships and Scholarships may be able to assist students in identifying scholarships possibilities.
