Program Schedule Instruction for each course (designated A & B) will be spread over 21 two-hour morning sessions for a total of 42 hours of instruction including the final examination. Scheduling of these classes will be arranged to accommodate occasional formal guided morning tours into Rome and environs, and to provide opportunity for individual student excursions when not in class. One extended tour is planned – (four days) to Assisi, Subiaco and Florence. Other day trips will be made to the Castelli Romani, Anzio, Fossanova and Monte Cassino. Costs for this travel are included in the program cost. Students will also be given the opportunity to travel independently for four days. Frequently Asked Questions Can I get financial aid for the summer program? Traditional financial aid applies to two terms in a year. Hence for the Rome Summer program, the only option for students would be to divide the loans they already qualify for over three semesters instead of two (fall and spring). This would mean the student would receive 33% of their loan in fall, spring and summer instead of 50% in the fall and 50% in the spring. Prorating the loans out over three semesters instead of two would mean that financial aid would need to know in advance (before the loans are paid) that the student is going to Rome in the summer so they can award the loans correctly. Currently no grants or scholarships are offered for the Summer. Students may apply for a PLUS loan for the summer if the Financial Aid Office has a FAFSA on file. What do I need to know about overseas flights? Students will arrange their own transportation to the program. They are welcome to work with our travel agents, TravelLeaders or STA. Students whose planes actually arrive (vs. are scheduled to arrive) at the Fiumicino Airport in Rome by 9:30 a.m. on Monday, May 27 may take the group bus. All others including those whose flights are delayed are responsible for getting themselves to campus. Students arriving in Rome on May 26 must make their own accommodations for the night of May 26 and get themselves to campus May 27. Directions to campus and contact information for cab service will be provided. The campus arrival window is 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on May 27.
