How to Apply
The application deadline is November 1, 2012. The online application for Summer 2012 will be available starting December 1, 2012.
-
Participants are chosen by random lottery within each major to maintain appropriate representation from each department. Honors students are selected by random lottery in a separate applicant pool. Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance. Applicants should receive notification of their acceptance status within one month of the application deadline.
- Applicants may apply for only one term: Applying for both fall and spring at the same time is not an option. Make certain you apply for the correct term, as changing terms at a later date will put you at the bottom of the wait list for that term.
- Honors Students: You can only apply for the fall term of your sophomore year.
- Musical Theatre majors: You are no longer eligible to attend the Kasteel Well Program.
- Qualifications: Students must be in good academic standing with a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher and have no social sanctions against them.
- New Freshmen: The computer will automatically upload your academic information. After the conclusion of the fall term, applications will be reviewed.
- New Transfers: You will not be able to access the application online. Please call us to set up a time to fill out the application in our office. Also, we require an official transcript of your transfer grades and credits.
- Juniors and Seniors: You may attend the program, but you need to make sure that the classes offered (general education curriculum/200-level courses) will fulfill some of your requirements or electives. You must be able to graduate on time, and not take classes that are unnecessary.
- Program Deposit: Upon approval to attend, a nonrefundable and nontransferable program deposit of $300 is required. Spaces are not held for applicants, even approved applicants, without a confirmation deposit.
- Room and Board: Housing is mandatory. Students are housed in single, double, triple, and quad rooms. Rooms are assigned according to seniority. There is also a mandatory 14-meal-per-week food plan. A $50 room/damage deposit is required. There is no meal service on Fridays and Saturdays.
Non-U.S., Non-E.U. Applicants
Due to recent and more strict application of Dutch immigration rules, non-U.S. and non-E.U. citizens may encounter difficulties obtaining an appropriate visa. All non-E.U. international applicants should contact the Director of International Study and External Programs or the Dutch Consulate in their home country for further information about visa restrictions.

Students with Disabilities or Special Needs
Students who wish to participate in an Emerson external program or activity must be physically and mentally able, with or without reasonable accommodations, to fully and safely participate in the program or activity. Students who suffer from a physical or mental disability and wish to request accommodations that might enable them to fully and safely participate should contact Emerson College's Disability Services Office at dso@emerson.edu.
Students with a documented disability or special need should discuss any anticipated accommodations well in advance of their semester with the International Study and External Programs Office and the Disability Services Office. Your documentation and diagnosis must support your requests for special arrangements or accommodations.
Please be aware that not all disabilities can readily be accommodated abroad and that the laws are different in other countries. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) does not extend beyond the boundaries of the United States.
