Transfers
Transfer credit from accredited colleges may be applied toward a degree at Belmont Abbey. Likewise, college credit from Belmont Abbey should be recognized by other leading colleges and universities.
Financial Aid
Belmont Abbey will automatically consider international students for academic scholarships. Auditions, interviews, and or recruitment materials may be needed to secure other scholarships such as athletic scholarships. No other scholarships or financial aid are set aside specifically for international students. Normally students from other countries should arrange to finance all four years of undergraduate study.
International Advisement
International students will form a close personal relationship between students, faculty, and staff. An International Student Advisor is available to assist with questions and problems.
Housing
Students live two in a room in comfortable residence halls or student apartments. Each room is equipped with single beds, desks, chairs, dresser, and internet access. The student must supply a pillow, sheets, pillow cases, bed spreads, blankets, and towels as well as necessary personal articles. The residence halls are not open during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
Health Services
Before beginning class, all students must have completed the following immunizations: smallpox, typhoid, polio, tetanus toxoid, and mumps, measles, and rubella. Proof of immunizations is required.
The college provides limited medical care on the campus. Included in the tuition are all services rendered by the on-campus clinic.
Visa
After a student has been accepted for admission to the college and has deposited $2500, we will send Form I-20 to enable you to request a visa from the U.S. Consulate. The deposit is non refundable and will be deducted for your total cost of attendance.
Travel
Travel tickets should be purchased with Charlotte , NC (CLT) as the destination. If you arrive in NC prior to the opening of our residence halls, you should make private arrangements for temporary lodging.
Student Activities
Students from abroad are encouraged to bring with them pictures, traditional national clothing, and other typical examples of the distinctive arts and cultures of their countries. There may be opportunity for speaking engagements, in addition to participation in The Abbey’s annual “International Fair.”
Belmont Abbey has a well-rounded program of activities including musical and dramatic productions, intramural and intercollegiate athletics, a guest artist series, student government, clubs (including an international students club), and other diversified cultural and entertainment activities.
