Non-Pomona
Programs are study abroad programs that have not been pre-approved by the SAC.
These programs are available to students whose academic needs are not met by the
existing slate of Pomona Programs. In order to apply for a Non-Pomona Program,
students must first petition the SAC for approval. Pomona requires a 10.0 GPA
minimum for Non-Pomona Programs. Additionally, students should complete the
appropriate college-level language study in preparation for the proposed
program, if that language is taught at The Claremont Colleges. Students
are expected to complete a content course related to the
study abroad destination.
All
Pomona College study abroad policies and procedures outlined in this guide apply
to students who participate in Non-Pomona Programs, except as noted below.

Petition & Application Procedures |
| |
Before
petitioning for a Non-Pomona Program, students should consult with their faculty
advisor, and schedule an advising session with the OSA director or assistant director. Students then submit
a Petition to Apply for a Non-Pomona Program to the SAC, due in the OSA
approximately two weeks before the regular application deadline.
It is the responsibility of the student to present compelling academic reasons
for the choice of program. The SAC will consider appropriateness of the
proposed curriculum to the student's total program at Pomona College, and the
administrative feasibility of the program. Students should show that no
Pomona Programs meet their academic needs. The petition should be fully
developed and well-argued.
Students whose petitions are successful must submit a completed Pomona
application and appropriate program sponsor application by the application
deadline. An approved Petition to Apply is not a guarantee that the
student's application will be accepted by either the SAC or the program sponsor.
Normally, competition will occur since the SAC sets a guideline for the number
of students who may participate in Non-Pomona Program each semester. The
guideline is currently ten students. Students whose Non-Pomona Petitions
are unsuccessful may file an application for a Pomona program by the application
deadline.
If a student believes there are grounds for an appeal on the SAC's decision on
the proposed Non-Pomona Program, s/he must meet with the
Director of Study Abroad within one week. As
with appeals of the SAC's application decisions, appeals of the SAC's Non-Pomona
Petition decisions will be considered only in the case of 1) demonstrated
administrative error, or 2) an extraordinary change in circumstances, normally
beyond the student's control. The committee's decision is final.
