During online registration, MySlice prevent students from registering for more than 17 credits of Madrid courses. If you attempt to, you will receive the error message “Maximum term student unit load exceeded.”
If you plan to take more than 17 credits, email Madrid Academics Team prior to the start of online registration to explain your academic need for a heavy load during an abroad semester. You may take 18-19 credits without incurring additional tuition charges.
Reminder: Course Fees
Reminder: Course Fees
Many courses get you out of the classroom and into museums and cultural centers where you will view or experience what you are studying. Some of these courses carry fees for study tours, site visits, activities, or supplies that are an integral part of the course. Please carefully review the list of course fees, which explains briefly what these fees cover. Share the course fee sheet with your parents and/or guardians if they are financially responsible for your fees. (A fee is also noted on the Schedule of Classes for any course requiring one.)
Reminder: Required Field Study and Personal Travel
Reminder: Required Field Study and Personal Travel
If you register for any course with a mandatory study tour, you must participate in this field study. Do not plan personal travel until you get to Madrid and know when you may be required to take part in any class-related study tours, all-program trips, make-up classes, exam periods, and other academic commitments. Otherwise, you may need to re-arrange conflicting personal travel at your own expense.
