Academic Year 2023-2024 Blocks Away
BLOCK AWAY & ABROAD BASICS
The primary application window for all 2023-2024 Academic Year Blocks Away is February 9 through March 22, 2023, following our official launch event at the Study Away Fair on February 9 (12:00 pm to 2:00 pm in the Worner Campus Center). All students who apply during this window will be considered for an aid award (See Billing & Finances page for details). All applications during the application window will be reviewed for aid eligibility. Students will be notified of their aid award by April 7, 2023
While most programs close to new applications following the spring application window, Block 7 and 8 programs do offer a second application period which runs through the end of Block 1 the following Fall. However, it should be noted that it is possible for even a Block 7 or 8 program to close after the initial spring period, so early application is always recommended.
Students who wish to apply for a block away after the application window has closed should consult with the program's faculty leader to determine if there remain available spaces in the program for a late application. Late applicants can be placed on an aid waitlist, but if a student is in need of financial aid it is highly recommended that applications be completed by the deadline.
It is an option to apply to multiple programs. Students who do this should notify Global Education of their final decision to accept admission into their preferred program no later than the earliest Withdrawal deadline of the programs they have selected. Failure to notify Global Education of your desire to decline acceptance into a program by the program's deadline can lead to program fees being billed to the student.
All Applications must be completed on Summit. Once accepted into the program, students will receive an email with instructions for forms and waivers to complete. Upon completion of these forms and confirmation of acceptance of their seat in the block away course on Summit, the Consent of Instructor (COI) Code needed to register for the course on Banner will be provided.
Colorado College Block Away & Abroad programs are funded through a program fee. This fee typically covers on-site expenses for the students and faculty such as lodging, group meals, transportation, program excursions, guest speakers, group activities, and international health and travel insurance. The program fee may also include additional funds for student meals, however, most meals are funded through a refund of one block of the campus meal plan, provided to students in the weeks before departure.
Program fees do not typically cover airfare to/from the program location.
To assist with the costs of a block away/abroad, Colorado College has a pool of aid specifically designed to cover up to 90% of the expense of a block away, including airfare, for students who qualify for need-based aid. All students who apply to, and are accepted in, a Block Away will automatically be reviewed for aid eligibility. If eligible, a student can earn an aid award between 20%-90% of the estimated total cost for participation in the program. The aid pool is limited, so not all students who might qualify are guaranteed aid for any particular program. It is very important to apply during the primary Application Window for each given program to maximize the potential to obtain an aid award as late applicants are often unable to obtain an award.
For detailed information about Block Away Program Fees and Aid Awards, please visit our Billing & Finances for AY Blocks Away Page.
Each Academic Year Off-Campus Block has a set Student Withdrawal Deadline (See each program for details). Withdrawal charges for Academic Year Blocks are defined by the withdrawal date as it relates to this deadline as well as the program departure date.
- Withdrawal prior to the published deadline for the program will incur no charges.
- Post-deadline withdrawal will incur charges ranging from a minimum of $100 to maximum of 100% of the program fee.
- The withdrawal charge increases to a minimum of 25% of the program fee for any withdrawal occurring within the block prior to departure
The total amount of the program charge to be billed will be determined by the course faculty and Global Education and will consider both nonrefundable expenses paid by the college on your behalf and costs shared by all participating students to support the structural expenses of the program. Financial aid awards cannot be used to cover withdrawal charges. Students may have a portion of these charges waived with appropriate documentation that the withdrawal was attributable to medical necessity.
If you have never obtained a passport and are need of financial support in applying for a passport to participate in a CC off-campus program, you may apply for an Academic Opportunities Grant to help cover some of those expenses.
It is highly recommended that as you apply for any Block Away you ensure that your passport is valid no less than 6 months beyond the end date of your program. Many countries do not allow access if a passport is within its final 6 months of validity, so a renewal may be needed if your passport will expire within 6 months of the program's closure. If your passport is due for renewal during this time frame, we recommend seeking the renewal immediately as passport processing times have been increasing over the past few years.
ALERT: PASSPORT PROCESSING TIMES ARE GETTING LONGER.
Times required to obtain a new passport or to renew a passport have grown considerably over the past year. It now can take 4 months or longer to obtain a renewal or a new passport with standard service. Even expedite service can take up to 3 month to process. If you need a new passport or need to renew your passport, we recommend that you do so immediately, even before application and approval for a block away.
As you are likely aware, there are many locations around the world where U.S. passport holders may enter for 90 days without a visa, but where residents and citizens of other nations are required to have a visa. This is something to be cognizant of as you enroll in a Block Abroad that might take you outside of the United States.
Please note you may have additional costs and requirements not common for U.S. citizens. These include:
- You may be required to obtain a visa for entry to the program’s host country when U.S. citizens do not. Visas commonly require paying a fee.
- You may need to schedule visa appointments through consular offices outside of Colorado and travel independently to these appointments.
- You may need to apply well in advance to obtain a visa appointment. Please do not wait until the final weeks before departure to begin this process.
- Financial aid does not cover any of these costs connected to applying for these visas for any block off-campus programs.
For assistance with any visa-related questions tied to a Block Abroad, please schedule an appointment with Kellee Fletcher in Global Education
If you believe you will need financial support in order to obtain the necessary visa for a program to which you have been accepted, please contact Global Education. Funds are available (on a limited basis) from Global Education. You can discuss this, as well as the visa process with Ms. Fletcher.

This course explores the development of French philosophy from the interwar period to the present. Using the city of Paris as its context, the course examines how social and political challenges influenced the paths of French philosophical reflection, moving thinkers to question the foundations of knowledge, morals, and politics, leading ultimately to what might be called a “decentered” cosmopolitanism. Topics covered include existentialism and the dramatic events of the interwar and Second World War periods; feminist and postcolonial theories and the liberation struggles of colonial Indochina, Algeria, and the “Third World” more generally; structuralism and the ideological and practical battles of the Cold War; poststructuralism and the 1968 student and worker uprisings; and contemporary multicultural and cosmopolitan philosophies and the developments associated with globalization, postcolonial immigration, populism, and terrorism. Taking full advantage of all that Paris has to offer—countless museums, a diverse cultural life, streets marked by historical events, and an ongoing intellectual tradition in which philosophy is expected to have a direct impact on how people live and in which philosophers themselves often become cultural “stars”—this course will survey the intertwining of 20th and 21st century French philosophy with the recent social, political, and cultural history of Paris.
