OFF-CAMPUS PROGRAMS
B. Rozema (director)
Trinity provides semester-length programs for students who wish to study in the context of another
culture or would benefit from a program that cannot be offered on campus. A student’s eligibility
and anticipated course credits are determined by a preliminary application that must be submitted by
December 1 of the academic year prior to intended enrollment in a particular program. Further
information and preliminary application forms are available in the Off-Campus Programs office,
Groot 160.
Off-Campus programs are grouped into three categories:
• Trinity SPONSORED programs: Chicago Semester, Semester in Ecuador, Semester in
Nicaragua, and Semester In Spain. For these programs students may apply 100% of Trinity
financial aid, if they are approved to attend. The minimum grade point average (GPA)
required to apply is 2.50.
• Trinity ENDORSED programs: For these programs, students are eligible to apply a
percentage of their Trinity institutional financial aid, up to 50%, based on a separate
application and approval process. The Director of Off-Campus Programs maintains a list
of ENDORSED programs, including the CCCU BestSemester programs and others (see
list in the next section). For students to receive any institutional financial aid for Endorsed
programs, they must file a separate financial aid application and have a minimum GPA of
3.00. (Some exceptions to the 50% rule are made, if the program is required for a major. See
Director of Off-Campus Programs for details.)
• All other off-campus programs are NON-SUPPORTED programs: These programs
students find “on their own” and are not supported with Trinity financial aid. Students
pursuing non-supported programs should consult with the Registrar about transfer
arrangements and consortial agreements as needed.
