Procedures for Filing for Exchange

Students must work closely with the global education office and complete all application materials. A Hampshire College exchange form will be issued to students if they have been accepted to an exchange program.

•  A meeting with the advisor (Division II or Division III chair) who will be supervising the work during the exchange should occur at an early stage. If this is a Division III exchange, this planning meeting must be followed by a meeting with the Division III dean in CASA, who can be reached at zclift@hampshire.edu.
• After the project has been planned, it must be put in written form. A copy of the Division II concentration statement or a preliminary Division III plan should be attached. A written agreement between the student and the faculty supervisor outlining the obligations each is willing to undertake is an important part of the form. A statement about how and when the work will be evaluated should also be included.
• Filing for exchange requires the approval of the following people: academic advisor; the housing coordinator; the manager of student accounts; the director of financial aid (for financial aid students); the director of global education (for students traveling outside the United States); and, finally, a dean in the Center for Academic Support and Advising.

Any exchange for which final approval has not been received will be canceled.
