Academic Advising

SCU Study Abroad can help students identify where to find the course list on their program's homepage, however, SCU Study Abroad cannot advise on whether or not specific courses will fit major/minor/core requirements or on students' overall academic plan. Students who have questions about whether or not certain classes offered on their programs abroad would count towards their major/minor/core need to consult with their academic advisors and follow the course evaluation process for any courses not already approved in our course equivalency database.

Financial Aid & Billing

All questions about financial aid and billing should be directed to onestop@scu.edu after researching the Affording Study Abroad section.

Students who would like to research additional funding opportunities can review the Apply for Scholarships section and utilize our Scholarship Workbook. We encourage students to apply to opportunities as soon as possible, as deadlines vary.

Tuition Remission

All questions about tuition remission should be directed to Georgina Santiago (gsantiago@scu.edu).
