How to Apply to the ŷַ London Program
Application Process
Below are some guidelines for determining your eligibility and suitability for the ŷַ London program:
- Students may apply to two Study Abroad / Study USA semester programs at a time. If planning to attend more than one Study Abroad / Study USA program while at ŷַ, check with your major or minor for a "residency requirement" — the number of units you must take at/from ŷַ and meet with a study abroad advisor.
- Seniors graduating at the end of the Fall semester may not attend ŷַ London that semester.
- You must have at least a cumulative 2.8
grade point average at the time of application. - You must be able to demonstrate how such a semester will further your academic goals. Students interested in applying for the program should visit Roehampton University's study-abroad course catalog to determine what courses will work for their major. (See instructions for Using the ŷַ/RU Historic List of study-abroad Courses and Exploring RU’s Course Catalog below.)
- Students who are selected for the program must be able to clear their financial accounts and pay at least 60% of their fees before they begin in London. The payment deadlines for the Fall and Spring programs are August 15th and December 15th respectively.
Selecting Courses
Students interested in applying for ŷַ London should first explore whether the available courses at RU will be approved by their advisors and will work to complete their major or general education requirements and other academic goals.
Students are required to select three (3) Roehampton courses (from Roehampton's study-abroad
The above-listed units bring the total to fifteen (15) ŷַ credit units. In addition to the three classes (9 units) that you select as your first choices, you must select three alternate classes (9 more units) in case your first choices are unavailable from Roehampton’s study-abroad catalogue. So, in the end, you will need to find six classes (18 units) that work for your general education, major, or minor course requirements.

Roehampton modules with a “C” in the number indicates an introductory-level course (such as a ŷַ 100 or 200 level class); modules indicating “N” or “X” in the number indicates advanced courses (such as ŷַ’s 300 or 400 level courses).

Any Roehampton module returns to ŷַ as three (3) credit units, regardless of whether that module is listed as a 10-unit or a 20-unit module. This change is effective as of the Fall 2012 ŷַ London semester.
Only modules with the letter “A” (Autumn) at the end of its number are to be selectable by ŷַ London students, inasmuch as our program is only during the Autumn (Fall) semester.
To determine whether a certain Roehampton module may be approved for ŷַ credit, click the module number and read its description. If it resembles a course in the ŷַ catalog, print out the description and discuss it with your advisor. Your advisor will be the one to determine whether the RU module can stand in the place of a ŷַ course in your major. For any course outside your major, the chair of that department must approve the selection.
The ŷַ London application will require an applicant to list six (6) Roehampton module choices (listed on the application in the order of preference #1 through #6 of Roehampton courses with their ŷַ counterparts). If accepted to our program, the applicant will take a total of three (3) Roehampton courses (equal to nine (9) ŷַ approved credit units), along with the mandatory BBST 450 (equal to three (3) ŷַ units) and the mandatory BBST 465 Bible Integration Seminar (equal to three (3) ŷַ units, for a total of fifteen (15) ŷַ approved credit units.
APPLICANTS, TAKE NOTE: Even though the opening paragraph of the Roehampton Study-Abroad Catalogue may state information other than what has been stated in the above paragraphs of our ŷַ London website, you must follow the instructions/information found on our website, inasmuch as ŷַ has certain agreements with Roehampton University as to the number of units selected and ultimately taken.
