The International Studies program is academic in nature, and when space is limited instructors give preference for places on study tours to students who are enrolled for credit.

Many instructors, however, permit alumni, family members, and significant others to participate because they lend maturity and diversity to the experience and because higher numbers tend to reduce costs for all travelers. It is program policy that participants not enrolled for credit pay a separate administrative fee directly to the program, but that policy is currently under suspension. However, donations to the program are always welcome and may be made through the FAS Development Office: 411 Cooper Street, 2nd Floor, Camden, NJ 08102.

Instructors have considerable discretion in admitting or declining to admit individuals onto their study tours. In some cases they may not allow Rutgers Camden students to participate unless they are enrolled for credit. Contact the instructor for his or her policy on family and friends.
