• students must return to the UofR for at least one course in a semester following the Study Abroad program
• students must meet with Wendy Tebb to discuss how/if courses will transfer into their Hill degree or diploma program (students are advised to do this before applying to for any Study Abroad program).

This program fee covers – course tuition (for the 4-week program), accommodation in a single private room with a bathroom and free WiFi from July 5 to August 1, 2020, access to shared kitchen, laundry room and fitness room, and some additional extracurricular activities to discover the Parisian way of life.
