Off Campus May Terms

Each summer, Covenant College offers three-week intensive courses called May Terms. Led by Covenant faculty, these custom programs give students the opportunity to make the world their classroom, connecting lecture content to culturally relevant excursions. Each year, Off Campus May Term offerings are announced early in the Fall semester. Students that have applied and been accepted to a course spend the Spring semester preparing for their departure. From Rome to Madrid, Wellington to Quito, our faculty lead the expedition to learning!

The Global Education Office encourages students to sign up for the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) conducted by the U.S. Department of State. This free service allows the U.S. Department of State to contact a traveler in emergency situations such as a family crisis or crisis arising in the country of the traveler.

The student is solely responsible for becoming familiar with the local conditions, laws, and regulations of their host country. Check out www. travel.state.org for information from the US Dept. of State regarding safety, local law enforcement services, and cultural norms of your host country and any other countries you intend to visit.

Covenant College is unable to offer financial aid for summer sessions. However, all May Term courses are offered at a 50% discounted rate for credit hour.

Off Campus May Terms are billed to a student's Banner account on the first day of the course, with a final payment deadline of June 30th. Students and parents can use the Pay my Student Bill link to pay this balance with a Mastercard or Discover. You can also go directly to the Accounting office in Carter 147 tp pay by check, cash, or any card.

Please see the May Term Student Handbook for more details.
