Extensions and Withdrawals

Main content start

All BOSP participants are subject to and will be held accountable for the policies in this section. Please review them carefully.

Extend Your Stay on a Quarter Length Program

BOSP offers exciting opportunities to extend your stay in a program overseas to a second or third quarter depending on the program and quarter! Any extension requested prior to the first application round for the quarter the extension takes place in will be given priority. Any extension request after this cannot be guaranteed.

To request an extension, log in to the BOSP Application System, go to the steps associated with your application, and click the Extension Request button to submit your Extension Request.

Withdraw from a Program

In the unfortunate event that you must withdraw from the program, log in to the BOSP Application System, go to the steps associated with your application, and click the Withdraw button to submit your withdrawal notification.

The BOSP Participation Agreement outlines the terms and conditions of your change of program enrollment status and the withdrawal policy. It is important that you read this information carefully and consider that withdrawing from the program may have financial consequences. Students on a waitlist may remain on the waitlist indefinitely or withdraw if they wish with no financial penalties.
