Off-Campus Study Guidelines
For the junior and senior years, Mellon Scholars are
encouraged to consider the variety of off-campus study programs available
to students at Hope College. Some opportunities, such as the Newberry
Library Program, offer intensive research experiences that can complement
the course of study undertaken in the junior and senior tutorials.
More than 200 other domestic or international opportunities are available
to Mellon Scholars, and can be undertaken in consultation with their
academic advisor, their current Mellon Tutor (if appropriate), the
Mellon Scholars Director, and the Office for International Education.
Arrangements that are not compatible with the guidelines below must
be approved by petition to the Mellon Scholars Committee at least one
month in advance of the deadlines provided by the individual programs
and the Office for International Education.
Off-Campus Study in the Summer
Mellon Scholars are encouraged to participate in off-campus programs
during the summer (May, June, and July terms). Students seeking
off-campus study opportunities in the summer should consult
their academic advisor, their Mellon Tutor (if appropriate),
and the individual off-campus study program director.
Off-Campus Study for Sophomores
Mellon Scholars are required to participate in both semesters
of the Sophomore Seminar and may not study off-campus during
the academic year.
Off-Campus Study for Juniors
Mellon Scholars who plan to study off-campus in their junior year
should consult their academic advisor, their Mellon Tutor (if
appropriate), and the Mellon Scholars Program Director before
applying to the program. (The deadline for applications for
the fall semester is February 1 and April 15 for the following
spring semester.) Ideally, the off-campus program should be
relevant to the student's course of study in the Mellon Scholars
Program. Normally, Mellon Scholars should seek off-campus study
in the fall semester in order to enable participation in the
research-related events that are held in the spring semester
at Hope College. Mellon Scholars who study off-campus in the
spring should arrange to complete their junior projects in the
fall semester. Mellon Scholars who spend both semesters of the junior
year off-campus must submit an acceptable junior project in
order to continue in the program. The project must be prepared
in consultation with a faculty mentor at Hope College and the
Mellon Scholars Program Director.
Off-Campus Study for Seniors
Mellon Scholars who plan to study off-campus in their senior year
should consult their academic advisor, their Mellon Tutor(s),
and the Mellon Scholars Program Director before applying to
the program. (The deadline for applications for the fall semester
is February 1 and April 15 for the following spring semester.)
Ideally, the off-campus program should be relevant to the student's
course of study in the Mellon Scholars Program. In most cases,
Mellon Scholars should consider off-campus study only in the
fall semester in order to enable to participation in the research-related
events that are held in the spring semester at Hope College.
If a Mellon Scholar participates in an off-campus study program
in the spring of the senior year, he or she must participate
in the Mellon Scholars Program’s culminating research
events in order to complete the Program. |
