Types of Programs

Roanoke College approved programs fall into three categories: Type A, Type B, and Type C.

Similarities:

Financial Aid can apply, credits transfer back to Roanoke College, and students pay Roanoke College tuition and fees.

Differences:

The fundamental difference comes in how Roanoke College will bill the student during the semester they are away, versus if and how much the chosen program will bill the student.

Type A programs mean that Roanoke College bills the student for housing and meals benefits, Type B programs mean that RC bills for housing but not for meal, and on Type C programs students are not billed by RC for either housing or meals, but are instead billed by the program provider. Note: Students who participate in a Type A program receive preference for travel scholarships and may be eligible for passport/visa financial support.

Roanoke College students are able to participate in up to three study away semesters, but only one semester of the three may be a Type C and either the second or third semester must be a Type A. Our partner ISEP (International Student Exchange Program) is our primary Type A provider; this link has more basic information about their Exchange programs.
