Academic Policies

Loyola's general academic policies apply to study abroad programs. Because of the time frame, students must attend all classes and trips in order to fulfill the requirements for the courses. If any classes or trips are missed, the student's grade will be lowered one grade point for each class or trip missed. All classes have finals that are traditionally marked.

Students must check with their academic departments or university to determine that the credits and/or grades will be accepted toward graduation requirements at their institution.

Any student currently enrolled and in good standing at an accredited institution may register for the Paris program.

Passports and Visas

In order to attend the program, students must have a valid passport, an international student card, and any necessary visas. U.S. citizens do not need visas for France, but other countries' citizens may need one. Students not holding U.S. passports are responsible for checking with the French Consulate in New Orleans about the necessary visas.

Medical Concerns

The Center for International Education (CIE) will be happy to discuss health care concerns you may have related to study abroad. Because of the particular challenges, both mental and physical that integration into a new culture and learning environment place on an individual, if you are currently receiving treatment for any chronic illness it is strongly recommended that you talk with CIE or your doctor about plans to manage your health condition abroad.

This program includes activities that may involve using public transportation, negotiating stairs, taking long walks, and attending scheduled classes.
