Applicants who have a physical condition for which accessibility or accommodations are required, or those who have a diagnosed learning disability, are encouraged to disclose their specific needs to the
Director of Mitchell College's Learning Resource Center  (LRC) as soon as possible.  Educational delivery in other countries differs from the American education system. The more time the Director has to inquire into appropriate and feasible accommodations and modifications the more likely we will be able to identify reasonable environmental and/or academic program adjustments. Applicants must consider whether the environment and support services available abroad will be able to meet their particular needs.For more information about this, contact Dr. Peter Love, Director of the LRC by email at love_p@mitchell.edu or by phone at 860-701-5071.

Applications must be submitted for review by April 9, 2010. A $500 non-refundable deposit will be required to secure a reservation by April 9 with full payment due by April 30, 2010; credit card and bank checks accepted. Parents who wish to visit their children while studying abroad may be accommodated with host families on a space-available basis, reserved in advance and priced accordingly.
