All IP admissions, scholarship selection, and hiring criteria are intended to be justifiable, consistent, and objective. When making admissions decisions, scholarship allocations and in hiring practices, IP and our program leaders do not discriminate on the basis of sex, disability, race, age, religion, color, national or ethnic origin, ancestry, marital status, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, genetic information, physical characteristics, or any other category protected by federal, state, or local law.  However, in certain cases the program structure may necessitate consideration in admissions decisions towards gender (for budgeted double rooms), physical ability (if the program includes required physical activity) and/or other identities or attributes.  In these cases, IP and our program leaders will aim to be as transparent as possible and to consider and advise applicants on a case-by-case basis.

Appeals to International Programs Policies

The Office of International Programs has a number of student policies governing application and acceptance; program payments, scholarships, withdrawals and refunds; transfer and approval of grades and credits from abroad; and student conduct for study away and program dismissals. All of these policies for students are published on the website and/or in the written pre-departure materials provided to all outbound study abroad students. Appeals to any Office of International Programs policy must be made in writing to the Director of International Programs. To request an appeal for minimum GPA requirements to a specific program, Community Standards violations, or class standing complete and submit the Appeal for Exception Form. Some appeals, such as for a GPA below the minimum for semester approved programs, may require additional approval outside of International Programs. Appeals will be considered on a case-by-case basis and the Director of International Programs may request additional information and/or request an interview with the complainant. All policy appeals must be addressed within one year of the original incident or action that prompts the complaint.
