Welcome to Spring Break 2012. The Center for International Education (CIE) organizes a variety of adventures around the world that educate students' minds, awaken their senses, heighten their cultural awareness, and provide lots of fun. These trips have limited enrollment. The CIE considers the admission process an important component of the study-abroad experience, so please take your time in filling out the application.
Completed applications, including all supporting materials and the application fee, are due in the CIE by Monday, October 24, 2011. *Please note new deadline. It is your responsibility to make sure that your application is complete. Once we have received all of your materials, our study abroad admission committee will review your application. Offers of admission will be made approximately two weeks after the deadline.
Please use the following checklist to make sure your application is complete:
–Application
–Personal statement (attach sheets as needed)
–Parent approval
–D.L. evaluation
–$600 non-refundable application fee (applied toward the program fee or refunded if you are not accepted to a program)
Please make a copy for your own records.
Parents are responsible for making arrangements for their child to return home or to another destination from the arrival airport of the return flight to the United States. NMH will provide transportation from the airport to NMH for day students and others living near enough to pick up their child on campus. Dormitory housing is not available until Monday, March 19, 2011.
While we believe that a study abroad experience contributes immensely towards your education, we also realize that an overseas travel program is not for everyone. We ask you to consider deeply whether a two-week cultural immersion experience program is right for you. Please ask yourself if you are willing to experience new (and sometimes different and/or challenging) customs that may help you understand how people in different parts of the world live and learn.
Please also be aware of the physical and mental demands that a study abroad experience may have. Recognize your own limitations.
Please keep in mind that participation in a NMH study abroad program is a privilege and not a right. Among the qualities we seek in candidates is the ability to represent NMH in an appropriate manner. Your acceptance is contingent upon being a model student who will uphold and honor NMH rules and regulations as stated in the NMH handbook (this applies whether you are on campus before your program begins or off campus while on your study abroad program).
If you have any questions, please stop by the CIE in Beveridge Hall, send us a SWIS at
cie@nmhschool.org, or call x3251. We look forward to receiving your application by
Monday, October 24, 2011. *Please note new deadline.
