Will students lose their financial aid if they participate in the program?
It is up to the students' individual school to determine how financial aid is handled. Students should visit their faculty advisor and consult with the Career Services, Financial Aid and the Admissions departments to gain information about the available options.

What is the difference between recognition and credits?
Recognition means participants are not receiving credit from their school or institution; however, the school will allow them to attend without taking them off its enrollment list. Credit means the school has agreed to award school credit for the participant's internship.

How can I formalize a credit acceptance plan for my school?
Colleges and universities nation-wide have a credit acceptance plan for the ACE-recommended courses, and we hope you will accept the ACE credit recommendations as well.

The university isn't able to award credit. Will participants 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 student's educational goals and programs to ensure the best course selection.

Do participants 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 participants register for the Disney College Program Education Course?
Participants will register for courses during their on-boarding process.
