Here are some other eligibility requirements to keep in mind:

  • Students must satisfy their financial obligation for the trip, and any balance on their student account, in order to participate.
  • Students need a valid passport, obtained no less than six weeks prior to the trip departure.
  • Insurance for the trip is required and included in the trip fee.

Selecting a Program

There are many things to consider when selecting the right study abroad program for you, including: 

  • Curriculum - Does the program you are checking into have your curriculum listed? If it does, are the courses you would like to take offered during your visit?
  • Location - Where do you want to go? Country or city? Large university or small school? Take a look at a map and get a general picture of where it is you would be going.
  • Cost - Is the program affordable? Will financial aid and loans apply? Will financial aid cover the majority of the expenses (including air fare)?

Since Onondaga Community College is an institution within the State University of New York system, OCC students may participate in many of the numerous SUNY study abroad programs.
