Visiting Student Program

Each year Roosevelt Academy offers 10 international students who are seeking a one-year or one-semester experience at an English-speaking, undergraduate college in Europe the possibility of participating in the RA visiting student program.

The visiting student program is open to most students enrolled in an undergraduate level degree-program at another college or university. Students must have completed at least one full year of college credit at the time of enrollment in the program and have a 3.3 GPA or higher. Roosevelt Academy is an honors college, which means that a selection procedure is used for enrollment in the degree and non-degree programs. Students from Roosevelt Academy or Utrecht University partners must apply through the partner program. [N.B. Roosevelt Academy has several exchange programs and is part of Utrecht University. All students from Roosevelt Academy or Utrecht University partner universities must apply through the regular program. Please contact the international office at your home university to inquire if you are enrolled in a partner university.]

All visiting students will live on the Roosevelt Academy campus. Rooms will be available for each accepted visiting student. Financial aid is not available from Roosevelt Academy for visiting students. Financial aid from your home university can be transferred; arrangements can be made on an individual basis, so please make sure to indicate this at the time of application.
