ABOUT THE PROGRAM

and cultural heritages of some of the finest cities in the
world: Vienna, the world capital of music; Salzburg, Mozart’s
home and setting for the movie The Sound of Music; Venice,
city by the sea; Florence, birthplace of the Renaissance;
and Rome, the cradle of Western Civilization.
Earn transferable college credits. The program includes a

Coast College student to participate in this program, but
you must be at least 18 years old.

Enrollment Fees
An enrollment fee of $26 per unit must be paid to Orange Coast
College at the time of registration. Non-resident students
pay $175 per unit. This tuition is state mandated and subject
to change.
What about financial aid?
If you qualify for financial aid, funds awarded can be applied
to your Study Abroad experience. Deadlines are October 1 for
spring programs and June 1 for fall programs. Funds may not
be released until after the semester begins, so you will need
to make other arrangements for the payment of required fees.
Insurance
The International Student I.D. is included for the summer
in Austria, Italy and Germany. The card includes a very basic
sickness and accident insurance policy. In general, the limits
are $100 per day up to a maximum of 60 days for in-hospital
sickness expense. If you do not have a policy that will cover
you while abroad you will need to obtain supplemental medical
insurance. Students will be required to provide proof of medical
insurance prior to departure.
