Exchange Students
Exchange students study at Salve Regina University for one semester or a full academic year. Semester sessions are offered August to December or January to May. Exchange students are required to arrive a few days before the start of the semester for International Student Orientation (ISO).
Exchange students are housed on campus and have access to the same programs and services as full-time Salve students, including McKillop Library, Gerety student activity center, computer labs and health/counseling services. You can participate in clubs and sports teams, attend campus events and volunteer for community service.
