Will I lose my financial aid if I participate in
the program?
It is up to each student's school to determine how
financial aid is handled if a student chooses to participate in the program
during the student's participation in the Disney College Program. Students
should consult with their faculty advisor and Career Services, Financial Aid
and the Admissions departments a their school to gain information about the
available options.
External learning and earning programs can be
referred to as an internship, externship or co-op program, according to the
practices of the individual schools. For more information, students can access
the U.S. Department of Education Web site at
http://studentaid.ed.gov.
What is the difference between recognition and
credits?
Recognition means you are not receiving credit from your
school or institution; however, your school will allow you to attend without
taking you off its enrollment list.
Credit means your school has agreed to award school
credit for your internship.
My university isn't going to give me credit. Do I
still have to take the educational component of the program?
Participants on the Disney College Program at the Disneyland®
Resort are required to take the educational component of the program. We
encourage you to review your Individualized Learning Plan with
your advisor to ensure the best course selection.
Do I have to pay for the Disney Educational
Component of the program?
There are no
tuition fees for the Disney
College Program Education Course. However, participants will be responsible for
purchasing textbooks and course
materials for the ACE Accredited Courses. Please see the
course syllabus for the required
titles.
If your school is awarding credit for these courses,
your school may charge you for the credits. For more information, please review
the "Education" information.
How do I register for the Disney College Program
Education Course?
Participants will register for courses when they
arrive as part of the sign-in process.
