Case Overseas Programs
Junior Year Abroad (JYA) - Policies
- JYA requires an application for approval as a candidate. For approved candidates, most forms of financial aid are applicable for overseas study.
- A cumulative grade point average of 3.00 for three semesters' work is required for participation. Students who do not meet this requirement but whose most recent work is at or above 3.00 may petition the dean's committee in the Office of Undergraduate Studies for approval for participation in JYA.
- Each application must bear the endorsing signature of the student's major advisor(s) with whom the student has discussed the proposed course of study, as outlined on the application.
- Unless the student is entirely independent of parental support, each application must bear the endorsing signature of a parent or guardian.
- With few exceptions, Case approves for JYA only those programs which give the student full access both to the courses in the curriculum of the host institution for which he or she is qualified, and to the entire range of extra-curricular opportunities available to local students. Students should plan to study abroad for a full year. However, in special circumstances, students may petition to participate in semester programs.
- Acceptance into the program is official when the study abroad advisor has approved the completed application.
- JYA students must register at Case as participants in JRAB 001 and JRAB 002. Students participating in direct exchange programs (GE3 or bilateral exchanges) register at Case for EXCH 001.
- New for fall 2005: All Case students on JYA or Exchange programs will pay Case tuition.
- When JYA students return to the campus for the senior year, they should be able to complete the requirements for graduation without any extension of delay. The undergraduate colleges require a student to have completed at Case at least thirty (30) hours with senior status.
