Skidmore in London
 Skidmore’s
program in London, offered during the SPRING SEMESTER ONLY, is unique
in that it allows students to enroll in regular university courses
at one of four outstanding universities located in London: University
of Westminster, University College London, and King’s College.
Just as each student has diverse academic and personal needs, each
institution offers a distinct curriculum and atmosphere and a distinct
level of integration into the British university system. When choosing
a final destination, students should carefully consider the different
academic offerings and calendars, housing options, and campus cultures.
NOTE: Due to its academic nature, credits in the Skidmore
in London program are treated as transfer credits. Course grades
will appear on your transcript, however they will not count toward
the Skidmore GPA. In addition, all approved 300–level credits
earned overseas may be used to meet maturity– level requirements.
All other aspects of the program work as they would in a Skidmore
program, including the use of financial aid.
Support Services
Support services for the Skidmore in London program
begin before students ever leave the Skidmore campus. The Office
of International Programs provides extensive advising to students
during the program selection and application process. As they prepare
to depart, during their time in London, and upon their return to
Skidmore, the Office of International Programs is ready to assist
our students in any way possible, including hosting orientation
and re–entry workshops. Once students arrive in London, they
will benefit from the support of an on-site coordinator in London.
The on-site coordinator is available throughout the semester to
assist students with their personal concerns, and coordinates the
cultural reimbursement programs. Participants will also find that
each of the host universities has professional staff available to
offer advice and guidance for it international student population.
