CCFE Fees and Deadlines

CCFE Independent fee

Students choosing to meet their CCFE requirement through HUM 2040, the independent CCFE, incur a $225 administrative fee. This fee is used to cover instructional costs for HUM 2040, a 0-credit course. Students will be charged $225 when they enroll in HUM 2040 after their proposal is approved by the Institute for Global Studies. This fee is non-refundable, including in cases where students fail to complete the required assignments and earn a grade of "No Credit." Students selecting this CCFE option may wish to review the Independent trip philosophy found on the first page of the syllabus to ensure they understand their responsibilities.

Rush fee

Students submitting a proposal after the deadline may be approved to pay for rush processing, if their trips meet most criteria and if they have a justification for having missed the deadline. Students who are permitted to submit a late proposal will pay a $100 rush processing fee. Students are only eligible for rush processing if they submit a proposal 3-6 weeks before their trip departure date.
