Student-In-Residence-on-Leave (S.I.R.O.L.)
Study abroad programs offered by other U.S. institutions

SIROL status allows students to participate in programs all over the world that are sponsored by other U.S. accredited institutions and remain officially enrolled at North Central College.  Plans must be approved by the NCC Study Abroad Advisor before registering and receiving credit.  To investigate possible programs, students pursue research on the Internet and use the materials available in the Office of International Programs.   Though some federal financial aid may be used for these opportunities, NCC institutional aid/scholarships and state grants may not be.

Following is basic information for SIROL programs:

• Students must make arrangements for SIROL study through U.S. Schools.  No direct agreement with foreign schools can be considered.
• SIROL students may be eligible for Federal Pell Grants, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Supplemental Grants, Federal Stafford Student Loans, or Federal Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students.
• SIROL students are ineligible for North Central Grants and/or Scholarships while in attendance at a different institution.  Students who receive the Presidential Scholarship, Honor Scholarship, Academic Scholarship, or Merit Scholarships will receive a portion of their unused scholarship in succeeding terms.
• SIROL students who do not receive financial assistance must make arrangements to pay applicable charges directly to their institution.
• If students receive financial assistance through North Central College (including Federal Stafford Student Loans), North Central College will pay those funds directly to the sponsoring institution.  Any outstanding balance not covered by financial aid is to be paid by the student directly to the other institution.
