Enrollment Policy and Information

U.S. non-McGeorge students must submit a letter of good standing from their home institution. Scholars from throughout Europe have traditionally been attracted to the beautiful setting offered by Salzburg. In addition to law students and graduates from the United States, the Pacific McGeorge summer program regularly enrolls students from several foreign countries, including Austria, Belgium, Denmark, United Arab Republic, Spain and Turkey. In 2011, 121 students participated in the Salzburg Program. Of those students, 91 came from Pacific McGeorge School of Law, 4 came from other ABA-approved law schools, and 26 were foreign students. In 2012, it is expected that approximately 20 non-U.S. students will enroll in the program.

Exam and Credit Information

Law School Credit: The University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law Graduate and International Programs have been inspected by representatives of the American Bar Association and are on the approved list of programs authorized by the ABA. Students enrolled in law schools other than Pacific McGeorge should check with their appropriate school official regarding procedures to follow for transfer of credit earned toward fulfilling degree requirements. Acceptance of any credit or grade for any course taken in the program is subject to determination by the student’s home law school.

The final exam will be given on July 27, 2012. This is the last day of the program.

Refund Policy

The registration fee of $250 is applied against tuition and fees and is refundable so long as notice of cancellation is received by June 1, 2012. After June 1, 2012, the registration fee will be non-refundable. Failure to meet the tuition payment deadline specified results in automatic forfeiture of a place in the program and the registration fee. All fees will be refunded if the program is cancelled.

Pacific McGeorge reserves the right to make changes in course offerings, professors, class schedules, housing, and other matters as circumstances require. In the event of a cancellation because of insufficient enrollment, sudden unavailability of facilities, or any other unforeseen circumstances, Pacific McGeorge will immediately send notice of cancellation to all registered students and refund all fees paid to the school as of the date of cancellation. There has never been a cancellation of the Salzburg summer program.

Financial Aid

Important! If you expect to have funds from the financial aid office in Sacramento deposited to your bank account after you arrive in Salzburg, be sure to bring enough money to tide you over for several days. The Pacific McGeorge office in Salzburg cannot cash personal checks drawn on a U.S. bank. You should discuss the availability of student loan programs with the financial aid office at your law school. Pacific McGeorge students should discuss availability of Financial Aid with the school's Financial Aid Office.

Lodging in Salzburg

Students will be housed in either single or double rooms. Housing will be in one of three student residence halls. All facilities are located in the city of Salzburg within walking distance of the Faculty of Law and the central business district.

Lodging includes a daily breakfast; cost of lodging is included in the tuition. While every effort is made to honor the request for single or double rooms, rooms are assigned on a first come, first-served basis, and room preference cannot be guaranteed.

Passports/Visas

A passport is a document issued by your government allowing you to travel abroad. A visa is a permit issued by the government you are planning to visit allowing you to enter that country. Passports and visas are the responsibility of the student.

United States citizens can obtain a passport application from the nearest U.S. Department of State Passport Office or from certain State and Federal courts and post offices. If you lose your passport while in Austria, contact the nearest U.S. embassy immediately.

United States students and citizens of EU and Schengen countries do not need a visa to enter Austria.

To avoid any delay in obtaining your visa or passport, be sure to apply as early as possible. See the latest information from the U.S. State Dept. about travel to Austria.

Travel Medical Insurance

Although travel medical insurance is not required to participate in the Salzburg program, students should check their medical insurance plans to see if coverage extends while away from home. If your plan does not cover illness or emergencies while traveling outside of your country, you are strongly encouraged to purchase temporary medical insurance for non-emergency and emergency medical expenses, including coverage for emergency air transportation, which is usually quite costly. To request more information about student medical insurance policies, contact Graduate and International Programs.

Accommodations and Other Policies

Every effort is made to accommodate persons with physical, medical and/or learning disabilities; however, Pacific McGeorge cannot ensure that the housing and classroom facilities used in the Salzburg summer program will meet the same standards for accessibility as do the facilities of the school's campus in Sacramento. Persons with disabilities that affect mobility should particularly note that historic European cities such as Salzburg present significant barriers to mobility over which Pacific McGeorge has no control.
