One-time-only approvals

Under extraordinary circumstances, the Off-Campus Programs Advisory Committee may designate a program not on the Albion-approved list as an Albion-approved program for the duration of study for a particular student or group of students.

To petition the Off-Campus committee for a one-time program approval, a student should begin with the CIE Director in Vulgamore 306.  The Director will open a non-approved program petition application in the Brits Abroad portal.  Within the portal, the students will submit the following requirements:  
  • Student petition.  A strong petition will include how the program meets specific academic/career/personal goals; courses the student proposes to take and how they fit into the degree plan and major; review of program dates in relationship to Albion College dates; program cost, broken down by tuition/fees, housing, and other costs; housing arrangements; on-site support services; extra-curricular activities and excursions; any other information relevant to the evaluation of the program.
  • Recommendation letter, academic department chair.  A strong recommendation will include an assessment of the new program, and how it  uniquely meets the student's needs.
  • Recommendation letter, academic adviser.  A strong recommendation will include an assessment of the new program, and how it uniquely meets the student's needs.
Petitions and recommendations letters are submitted through the Brits Abroad application portal.  It is advisable to have a secondary choice, in case the petition is not approved.
