LONDON 2014 / 2015


Letter from the President 2 Dear Students, Parents and Colleagues, I still vividly recall the first time I landed in a foreign country as a young person. My senses felt overloaded; everything was utterly different. And my world changed. The impact of study abroad on a young person’s life is immeasurable. Years later, while living in Italy with my family for 8 years and working in the field of international education, it was part of my job to know the college study opportunities available in Europe to English speaking students. I also learned to determine the truly exceptional schools; ones that would be an outstanding experience for any student. Back then my work was with secondary students; high school students living abroad and choosing a college soon. Once my family and I returned to the U.S. my interest in education abroad focused on options for college students and it was evident that opportunities were limited and difficult to reach. As a result, in 1995, I began to build SAI, with the goal of making it possible for all students to experience study abroad; especially at these exceptional schools I’d come to know. For 18 years now SAI Programs’ hands-on approach has enabled us to serve our students with the finest study abroad programs in Europe. SAI students understand that SAI Programs is an organization known for providing programs and services of distinguishing quality and always with a personal touch. As President, I am committed to maintaining SAI Programs as a small, personalized organization with staff who care for students and respond to their academic interests, cultural curiosities and career goals. As an intentionally small organization we are able to help each individual student feel comfortable in a new cultural environment. And as a small organization, we pay attention to the smallest details, allowing students the greatest access to learning and cultural exposure. SAI Programs is dedicated to introducing students to opportunities that encourage creative interaction among disciplines; communication, science, technology, art and design, economics and social sciences. In this way we seek to help students develop both the breadth and depth of creative thinking, cultural knowledge and professional skills. So when they return from their experiences, they have a deeper understanding of themselves and the world. We believe this will provide an advantage to them in their chosen careers and for the rest of their lives. I invite you to learn more about SAI Programs by visiting our web site saiprograms.com. Michael Cruciano, President SAI Programs

Excursions

It is important to continue communication with your academic advisor on campus to help you in selecting the courses that will fulfill your degree requirements and may help you in your future career and graduate school paths. Study abroad is considered to be a life-changing experience. Both the SAI Admissions Counselors and the SAI staff abroad can help to enhance this defining moment in your life. No question is ever unimportant at SAI. You can email, phone, or establish communication through Facebook, Twitter or SAI’s live chat website feature. The answer to your question is never out of reach.

Every semester SAI plans a 3-day excursion, included in the Program Cost, along with a rich program of cultural activities and excursions. A variety of optional excursions are also offered. Check with your Admissions Counselor or on the SAI website for specific excursions during your term of study.

Upon arrival you will participate in an orientation program, intended to familiarize you with the local environment. You will learn some of the local customs to help make your stay in your new city successful. Host school and SAI program policies are thoroughly reviewed during orientation.

All students enrolled in SAI programs receive U.S. or internationally recognized credit for their courses abroad. SAI students attending any University of the Arts program receive a U.S. transcript from Fairfield University, in the U.S. Alternatively, students may choose to receive only the UAL transcript. Fairfield University is located in Fairfield, Connecticut and has been a credit sponsoring partner of SAI since 2002.

Our onsite Program Coordinators and Advisors hold daily office hours and are always available to offer assistance with personal issues that are common when studying abroad, as well as academic problems that may arise. The Student Services Program, an ongoing and reassuring presence, includes an active calendar of social events and excursions, culminating in a farewell dinner at the end of each term. SAI encourages students to participate in these activities as another way to learn about the country and culture.

Advising & Orientation Begin the process as early as possible. SAI stresses the importance of meeting with your academic advisor at your current school to discuss how to “save” or “bank” courses to take while abroad. Get to know your academic advisor and the advisors in the study abroad office so when questions arise, you know where to turn. From the moment that you express interest in SAI programs, there is someone who is there to help you. SAI Admissions Counselors are knowledgeable about the programs, courses, cities and countries where the host schools are located, and have extensive experience in helping students transition from their colleges and universities in their home countries to the SAI schools abroad.

The city’s exciting daily life and cultural institutions are an important part of the learning environment for students. The school’s main central London buildings are within walking distance or a short underground ride of the British Museum, National Gallery, Tate Britain and Tate Modern.

APPLICATION PROCEDURES PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS: • Minimum 18 years of age • Official transcript reflecting minimum GPA. Semester programs: 3.0 GPA, Summer programs: 2.5 GPA (LCF 2.8) • Personal statement, one page in length • Portfolio (for semester courses & LCF Styling Summer) • One letter of recommendation (semester only - two letters are required for all LCF programs including summer)

Among our program choices, certain sites are better equipped to assist students with disabilities than others. As this may be a factor in choosing which SAI program abroad to attend, notify us of any and all disabilities before applying.

APPLICANTS FROM SAI-AFFILIATED SCHOOLS Students from affiliated schools should discuss their plans with the study abroad office at their home school. Some affiliate schools require students to pay all fees directly to SAI while others do not. Be sure to discuss this with your study abroad advisor in order to be clear about the procedure your school uses in their affiliation with SAI. Affiliate students receive credit for courses taken abroad from their home institution. While affiliated schools guarantee credit, this does not guarantee every course will transfer or that it will transfer into your major area of study. Students are responsible for meeting with an advisor to verify transfer credit before beginning their SAI program.

HOUSING Housing assignments are sent by email 5-10 days before the term begins. Students requesting a private room are required to pay the private room supplement fee prior to our processing their single room request. Students electing to make their own housing arrangements will receive a reduction in the program cost. Since this differs from school to school, contact the SAI office for the exact amount of reduction.

If you are uncertain about your college or university’s affiliation with SAI, drop by your study abroad office to discuss it with an advisor or contact the SAI office. You will find a list of current affiliates on our website. Students from affiliated universities MUST obtain approval from their study abroad office prior to submitting an application. APPLICANTS FROM NON-AFFILIATED SCHOOLS SAI welcomes students from any school. All students attending non-affiliated home universities will receive U.S. course credit from the U.S. school of record for their SAI program. For information on the U.S. school of record for your specific program go to the Services link on the program page of our website and click on “U.S. Academic Credit”. SAI automatically processes non-affiliate students through the U.S. school of record; no additional fee is imposed. All questions and correspondence should be directed to the SAI office in California. Upon completion of course work, transcripts will be issued by the U.S. school of record with U.S. credits. These credits are transferable to any school, though it is the student’s responsibility to confirm that specific courses will transfer by speaking in advance with their school advisor or study abroad office. DISABILITIES POLICY SAI is dedicated to providing education abroad opportunities to all students and does not discriminate on the basis of disability or handicap. If you experience any emotional, mental, physical or learning disabilities which may interfere with your ability to successfully pursue an academic course, and which you wish to be taken into account, please notify SAI as soon as possible. As always, advance planning is important in order to ensure the best possible experience abroad. Although we may not be able to require our partner schools abroad to provide accommodations, SAI can offer understanding, respect, and support, and we will do our best to assist students in finding reasonable accommodations similar to their home institutions. Regarding physical disability, it is important to note that Europe’s infrastructure and ability to accommodate disabled individuals differs from what is available in the United States. SAI will do its best to reasonably accommodate all students’ needs.

STUDENT VISAS U.S. citizens studying in London for less than 6 months are not required to obtain a Student Visa. All other students should contact our office so we can assist you with the information you will need to obtain a visa.

DEADLINES STEP 1: Submit Application By: Fall Semester: May 15 Spring Semester: October 1 Summer terms: 60 days prior to check-in NOTE: Late applications are accepted on a space available basis. STEP 2: Acceptance/Confirmation Deposit Notification of acceptance status will be sent to you by email within one week of application. Within 2 weeks of receiving the email acceptance a $500 NONREFUNDABLE confirmation deposit, a $300 security deposit and private room supplement fee (if applicable) must be paid to secure your enrollment. Acceptance letters will include instructions and program payment dates. If you have requested housing and have not paid the single supplement, you will automatically be placed in shared-room housing. Step 3: Payment 1 - Equal to 50% of your total Program Cost Due by: Fall Semester: May 1 Spring Semester: October 1 Summer Programs: 90 days prior to check-in date Step 4: Payment 2 - Balance of Program Cost Due by: Fall Semester: July 1 Spring Semester: December 1 Summer Programs: 60 days prior to check-in date NOTE: Students confirmed after Payment 1 / Payment 2 due dates will receive an email from the SAI business office regarding further program payments now due. Either 50% or 100% of Program Cost will be due within 5 business days, based on your acceptance date.


Payment Options: 1. Personal check, money order or cashier’s check made payable to “SAI Programs”. Mailed to: SAI Programs, 7160 Keating Avenue Sebastopol, CA 95472. 2. Online Payment by Visa or Mastercard and E-checks: SAI is only able to accept Visa or Mastercard. Credit card payments and E-check payments may be made directly online. Credit card payments include a 2.3% convenience fee. There is no charge for E-check (electronic check from your checking account) payments. 3. Bank Wire Transfer: For wire instructions please contact our California office at (800) 655 - 8965. SAI will mail one billing statement to your permanent mailing address which will include due dates. Failure to meet any payment deadline will result in course registration being placed on “hold” until paid. Transcripts will be withheld if accounts are not paid in full with SAI or the host school. Housing requests may be withdrawn by SAI if payments are not received by their due date. FINANCIAL AID Fall and Spring Semester students using financial aid are required to pay the Application Fee, Confirmation Deposit, Security Deposit and Private Room Supplement (if applicable). Written verification of financial aid award or loan approval MUST be sent to SAI in order to delay the balance of program cost and before your application is considered complete. Students attending Summer Session and receiving financial aid are required to make payments by their regular due dates. SAI will sign Consortium Agreements, allowing the use of financial aid funding, however Summer Session students are not permitted to defer payment until after receiving their financial aid. Summer Session students planning to use financial aid to cover costs must pay all program costs when normally due, and will receive reimbursement when financial aid is paid to them. NOTE: If your financial aid award is not sufficient to cover all Program Costs, the remainder must be paid by regular payment deadline dates. Financial aid monies will be applied last and any balance must be paid by their earlier due date. SAI will delay the final payment amount (based on your financial aid award) until the date your aid disburses.

After acceptance, you will receive by email a Financial Aid Form that must be completed and signed by you AND your school or financial aid provider, and returned to the SAI office. Financial aid students who do not submit ALL required documents by the following dates will be withdrawn:

SAI

PAYMENTS Costs may be combined in one payment. All payments, including wire transfers, should list the applicant’s name. A copy of your wire receipt must be faxed to our office before we can process your application.

A separate Security Deposit must be paid for each term (refundable at the end of that term).

• Fall: July 1 • Spring: November 15 If you intend to use financial aid, check with your school to determine if a Consortium Agreement must be completed between your college and SAI. Students receiving financial aid from their home school may be able to transfer these funds to SAI for payment of their Program Cost. Contact SAI if you have further questions. PROGRAM CANCELLATION & REFUND POLICY PLEASE NOTE: Financial Aid students remain responsible for ALL cancellation penalties that apply, even if program fees have not yet been paid. Failure to pay cancellation obligations will result in referral to a Collection Agency. Check-in day is considered the start of the term. The Confirmation Deposit is NOT REFUNDABLE at any time. Further Program Cost liability is based on the date on which a formal cancellation request is received in writing (email or fax). If a cancellation notice is received 60 days or less before check-in day, students are liable for the following charges: • 60 - 46 days before the start of a term: 25% of the Program Cost • 45 days or less before the start of a term: 100% of the Program Cost. No refund is available. HOUSING-ONLY CANCELLATION & REFUND POLICY If an enrolled student chooses to cancel their SAI housing request and seek private housing on their own the following penalties will apply, based on the date a housing cancellation is received by SAI: • 61 days or more before start of term student is liable for 10% of Housing Cost. • 60 days or less before the start of term the student is liable for 100% of housing cost.
