Deposits for off-campus study

All students studying off-campus will be asked to submit a non-refundable confirmation deposit to OCSE.

For semester/year programs, students are required to submit a $500 non-refundable confirmation deposit two weeks after receiving approval from the Committee on Academic Standing (CAS) to study off campus but no later than November 1st (for spring programs) or April 15th (for fall/year programs). $400 of the deposit will be credited to your Skidmore College account and the remaining $100 constitutes a processing fee.

For short-term travel seminars, students must submit a $250 non-refundable application deposit to OCSE at the time of application in order for the application to be considered complete and reviewed. The $250 deposit will be credited to your Skidmore account if accepted to the travel seminar.

Deposits can be paid to Skidmore by cash, check, money order or online through the Skidmore Bursar's E-Bill system.
