Info

When do the classes start? The University offers a spring and a fall term. The spring term starts in January, and the application deadline is December 15th. The fall class starts in August and applications are due by July 15th. Each year consists of two terms, approximately August to December and January to May. We do not offer any correspondence courses at this time. Is the School of Arts and Sciences accredited? The School of Arts and Sciences is recognized by the government of Grenada, and the University has been accepted as a member of ACTI (Association of Caribbean Tertiary Institutions). We are designing our programs to comply with accreditation policies in the United States. Students have successfully transferred their St. George’s credits into some Caribbean and US undergraduate programs, as well as some postgraduate programs. We will build on the success of our School of Medicine as we seek accreditation around the world. Does the University grant credit for courses completed at other institutions? The University will consider requests for advanced standing. A student must complete the Advanced Standing Addendum as part of the application, and credit will be awarded based upon the University’s Advanced Standing Policy. Advanced standing may be awarded for Associate Degrees, Advanced Level passes, and some diplomas/certificates. Is there on-campus housing for students? Yes. In 2003 the University completed an expansion project that added 54 new buildings on its True Blue campus, including additional accommodations for students. State-of-the-art facilities for the various science laboratories, a 450-seat lecture hall, a student center and gym, and a 45,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art library, the largest facility of its kind in the region, were also completed at this time. 24
How many students are currently enrolled in your program? We have approximately 250 full- and part-time students currently enrolled in the School of Arts and Sciences, with the majority of them coming from the Caribbean. The average class size varies from 10 to 20 students. FINANCIAL CHALLENGE What is the application fee? We do not charge an application fee for the School of Arts and Sciences at the present time. How do I obtain more information about the tuition and fees? There are rate cards available from the University that detail the cost of tuition. At St. George’s University, undergraduate students who are residents and citizens of Grenada are eligible for grants from two scholarship programs: the Caribbean Undergraduate Scholarship Program (CUSP) and the Grenadian Undergraduate Scholarship Program (GUSP). These scholarships serve to reduce tuition costs so that students who demonstrate financial need can attain a higher education. Almost all Grenadians get a maximum CUSP, which will reduce the full tuition by 65%. The GUSP awards can further reduce the amount of tuition a student pays by an additional 25%, 50% or 75%. In addition, St. George’s University will continue to award eight full-tuition scholarships each August through the Grenada government. All Grenadian students, whether full-time or part-time, are encouraged to apply for these scholarships. Please contact Mr. Bob Ryan at 1-631-665-8500 ext. 216 or via e-mail at bobryan@sgu.edu for more information. 25
