Academics
Goldsmiths College is one of the University of London’s system of college and universities. Located in South East London, the College is within walking distance of Greenwich and about 20 minutes by train from Charring Cross. Goldsmiths has 3500 undergraduate students and some 200 visiting international students, along with some 1600 postgraduates and continuing education students. The academic program at Goldsmith College concentrates on the creative, cultural, and social process and is particularly focused on contemporary culture. The College offers programs in the dramatic and visual arts, music, and social science. Complete information is available in the Goldsmiths “Study in London” brochure and on the web at www.gold.ac.uk.

Kalamazoo Theatre Arts students who study at Goldsmiths will be required to enroll in the “London Theater” course which focuses on National, West End, local, and “fringe” theaters. Students will take additional courses in theatre and other subject areas as advised by their Kalamazoo academic advisor and their Goldsmiths tutor. NOTE: It is often difficult for students to take courses from different levels (years) because of schedule difficulty.

Credits
Students in the Long-Term Program must enroll for the equivalent of 6 Kalamazoo units total for both terms. Most typically they will take three Goldsmiths courses per term. Students in the Extended-Term Program must enroll in the equivalent of 9 Kalamazoo units total for all three terms. Extended-Term students will need to discuss course enrollments with their Goldsmiths tutor. Students may not underload or overload without approval in advance from the Center for International Programs at Kalamazoo. In order to be counted as a Kalamazoo unit, a course must have, minimum of 40-45 contact hours of instruction. Most typically, four Goldsmiths credits are equivalent to one Kalamazoo unit. In cases where students must combine courses to achieve the minimum number of contact hours for a Kalamazoo unit of credit, both courses must be from the same discipline - i.e. art history with art history. All course work is recorded on the transcript as CREDIT/NO CREDIT. All courses must be passed with a grade of “C” or higher for credit. Courses will be recorded on the transcript in the discipline of the department in which the course is offered. Students who believe the course should be recorded in a different discipline or that the course should be cross-listed must provide complete course materials (syllabi, tests, papers, notes, reading lists, etc.) to the Center for International Programs upon their return. The Registrar reserves the right, in consultation with the academic departments and divisions at Kalamazoo College, to make the final determination regarding the discipline of the course and which requirements it can be used to satisfy.

Housing
Students live in college housing located either on campus or within a short walk from the College. Housing units have kitchenettes. Students can prepare their own meals or eat in one of the College cafeterias.

Co-Curricular Opportunities
Students have access to all Goldsmith College facilities including a gym and tennis courts. There are many clubs and student organizations. All students will be enrolled in the Goldsmiths student union. See the “Study in London” brochure for more details.

Comprehensive Program Fee
This Long- or Extended-Term Study Abroad Program is not a Kalamazoo Program. The latest information provided to us by the sponsor indicates that the comprehensive fee for the program will be as given below. This figure must be regarded as an estimate of the total program charges. Any changes in these charges, whether due to fluctuation in the exchange rate between the US dollar and the local currency, or for any other reason, are beyond the control of Kalamazoo College. A participant in this program could, therefore, end up paying more than the estimated comprehensive fee indicated below. In no instance will the participant pay less than the comprehensive fee assessed participants for Kalamazoo programs.
