Conditions of Participation - Also See Eligibility
Participation in off-campus study is contingent upon approval by the program and continued good academic and disciplinary standing in all semesters preceding off-campus study.  This includes satisfactory completion of all program prerequisites, including language courses and other courses related to the student’s proposed academic program off-campus.  If the GPA requirement for the off-campus program is higher than Occidental’s internal 2.7 GPA requirement, students are expected to maintain the higher GPA during all semesters preceding participation.  Students who earn a grade of F in any course in the semester preceding their program become ineligible for off-campus study.  Students who are approved for off-campus study with Incompletes on the transcript are expected to clear all incompletes from their academic record by the end of the semester preceding off-campus study. Likewise, all outstanding balances on the student's account must be cleared by the end of the semester preceding off-campus study.

Passports
In order to study abroad you must have a passport that is valid for six months beyond the date of your return to the U.S. following your study abroad program. If you do not have a passport, or need to renew it, you should do so immediately following notification of acceptance from Oxy in order to allow ample time for a possibly lengthy visa process.  Passports are issued by the U.S. Department of State. See their website for information on how to apply or renew your passport. Passport fees are the responsibility of the student.
