Classes will be held at Universita di G. d 'Annunzio. These classes will be conducted by Italian professors in an authentic Italian environment. This is not an institute for foreign study. It is an actual Italian university at which one can interact with other Italian students in all classes.
Courses:
All courses will be selected from the university's course book. A meeting will be held with Dr. Maria Rosaria Vitti-Alexander to review the selection of these courses.
Textbooks:
Textbooks are available at the bookstore across the street from the university. The prices of books vary.
Evaluation:
Class attendance is compulsory. All absences are recorded and made a part of the student's final record. Students are evaluated on attendance, participation, and their final examination grade.
Examination:
Final examinations are required in all courses, and are given at the end of the semester.
Credits:
Credits are expressed in semester hours. A maximum of 15 credits is allowed to each student per semester. The administration reserves the right to cancel or change any course or courses.
Transcripts:
Transcripts will be issued upon request by the Registrar's Office of Nazareth College in accordance with College policy.
Behavior:
All students are expected to abide by the regulations, and conduct themselves as representatives of Nazareth College and their country. The administration has the right to require the withdrawal of any students whose moral conduct or academic performance warrant such a measure.
Information for Students & Parents:
As explained in the application materials, an Italian Student chosen by our Pescara Director, Professor Anna Maria Cantalini, will help you while attending classes at the Universita di G. d 'Annunzio in Pescara (some courses may be offered at the Chieti campus). Our Nazareth College students will take the final exams at the end of the semester. Professor Antonio Sorella, the faculty member in charge of the Exchange Program at the Universita di G. d 'Annunzio in Pescara/Chieti, will sign the students' "attestati" (exam evaluations) prior to their departure.
The departure date for Fall & Spring for our students is set according to the Erasmus schedule (Erasmus is the language program for foreign students in Italy). Students will arrive at the Fiumicino Airport, near Rome or at the Pescara Airport. If arriving in Rome they will take a direct bus from the airport to Pescara. Professor Cantalini and the hosting students will meet the Nazareth students either at the Pescara airport or at the Pescara bus station, depending on where they are arriving. It is important that the students strictly adhere to the above dates and it is absolutely necessary that they communicate via e-mail their flight number and time of arrival to Professor Cantalini and to Professor Vitti-Alexander.
Professor Cantalini will also assist students in organizing their weekend trips to Venice, Florence, and Rome.
