Information Sheet

» About the Program

The University of Dayton offers an opportunity to college students from our partner institutions
to experience academic and college life at the University of Dayton in the student’s desired area of
study. The program will run during the spring semester of 2020, from January 13 to May 8, 2020.

» Incentives
If a student receives an average grade of B or above (GPA 3.0) in courses of study during the
program, the University of Dayton will waive the English proficiency requirement (i.e., TOEFL,
IELTS) if the student would like to be considered for undergraduate admission to the University
of Dayton. Students who wish to be considered for graduate admission may also be able to have
their English proficiency requirement waived depending on the program of study.

» Academics and Course Selection

Students can choose any course (up to 12 credit hours per semester) as long as there are seats
available in those courses. For course availability in spring 2020, please refer to the ‘Spring 2020
VSP Supplement – Tentative Course Listing and Descriptions’ section in this application package.
Please note that course listings are subject to change, and your final courses of study will depend
on completion of prerequisite requirements, seat availability, scheduling, and approval by the
relevant University of Dayton Dean’s Offices and Department Chairs. Course selections will
not be changed after the program has started unless in rare circumstances. For detailed course
descriptions and prerequisite/corequisite requirements, please visit http://catalog.udayton.edu.
(Note: Not all courses listed on the University’s online course catalog are available during the
spring 2020 semester).

It will be the responsibility of the student and the home institution to ensure that the student has
the appropriate readiness to take part in the Visiting Student Program. Students and their home
institution academic advisers must also ensure the student has fulfilled prerequisite requirements
for courses selected. Credit transferability is at the discretion of the home institution. The
University of Dayton will not be responsible if courses/credits are not transferrable.

» Advising
Visiting students will not be assigned an academic adviser. A student can contact the Office of
Student Success or the International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) Office should problems
arise in academic or social adjustments. These offices can then direct the student to the best
resources possible to meet the particular need.

» Housing
Where possible, we will pair visiting students together, or work with current students that have
expressed a desire to live with international students. You will be required to sign a Housing
Contract online after you have lodged your Visiting Student Program application. Details
regarding housing will be provided prior to your arrival.

» Computer Requirements
All University of Dayton students are required to have a notebook computer that meets the
academic hardware and software requirements of the University. Students must bring with them
to the University of Dayton a laptop meeting our minimum requirements. For details, please visit:
