Program Acceptance Letter
Upon receipt, submit a copy of your program acceptance letter to the Academic Affairs/Study Abroad Office.

HMC Program Acceptance Form
The HMC Program Acceptance form must be completed and returned to the Academic Affairs/Study Abroad Office. Along with your program acceptance letter, this form authorizes the Office of Student Accounts to pay your initial deposit to the program sponsor. This deposit holds your spot in the program.

Assumption of Risk Form
The Assumption of Risk, Indemnity and Release form (PDF) requires your signature.

Course Approval Form
The Course Approval form (PDF), which lists the courses you plan to take while abroad, must have signature approval from each department head.

Engineering majors only: The Department of Engineering requires engineering majors to complete a petition outlining the engineering courses you plan to take while abroad. These courses must be approved by the Engineering committee to be counted toward credit for graduation.

Insurance Authorization Form
Some sponsor programs include student health insurance as part of the program. For the programs that do not, the Insurance Authorization Form should be completed by the policyholder, usually the student’s parent(s). It is important that you contact your insurance provider to inquire whether or not your policy will cover you while abroad. Please see the "Health Considerations" section of Pitzer College’s Orientation Booklet. There are a number of companies that provide insurance for students studying abroad. Please review our Resources section or contact the Office of Academic Affairs/Study abroad for more information.

Note to Parents: The Insurance Authorization Form, along with a letter from the Office of Academic Affairs/Study abroad and a copy of the HMC Statement of Understanding Form signed by the student, is part of a mailing which is sent to the student’s home address.
