If you are planning to study away in the spring 2020 semester, you need to complete the Off-Campus Study (OCS) Approval Checklist associated with your first-choice program by October 15. The OCS Checklist is in the Amherst College Travel Registry (ACTR) and is all you need to do for Amherst to transfer credit and financial aid for study away. Please remember that you still need to apply to the study away program as the OCS Approval Checklist is just for Amherst. Email us with questions at geo@amherst.edu.
