Global Programs

London Program

General Program Policies

Except for the information already given, all University Finance Office policies are the same for the London program as for the Malibu program, including the payment schedules for tuition bills. All Pepperdine students admitted to the London program are eligible for normal financial assistance programs. Visiting students from other schools are not eligible for financial assistance from Pepperdine. Visiting students processing financial aid applications through their own schools under the Financial Aid Consortium will be provided with appropriate information to permit their application to be completed. Because the cost of the London program is greater than the normal student budget, the London financial aid budget is increased to reflect the increased cost.

The London program is subject to cancellation, without prior notice, if fewer than ten students have enrolled in the program fourteen (14) days prior to the commencement of the term. In that event, the deposits and application fees paid by students will be fully refunded.

Academic and attendance policies are enforced in London. Only Pepperdine students in good academic standing with clear disciplinary records are eligible to participate in the London program. Visiting students must have permission from the academic dean or associate dean of their school attesting to their being in good standing and agreeing to accept the units earned in transfer.

Students with Disabilities

Pepperdine University welcomes students with disabilities who are otherwise qualified for the London program. In compliance with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act, the University does not discriminate on the basis of disability. Students should recognize that those laws do not apply to public buildings and other facilities in England and the rest of Europe and many are not configured to accommodate disabilities. The Pepperdine London Center is accessible to disabled students even though access may be somewhat difficult. A portable ramp for wheelchair access can be arranged. There is a small elevator giving access to the upper floors of the building although it will not accommodate a wheelchair. Wherever possible, it is the policy of the university to reasonably accommodate the needs of those persons having disabilities. Such disabilities should be made known to the Director of the Overseas Program in advance so that appropriate arrangements, where possible, can be made.
