The MAJOR problem being that he tries to go off with my nipple still in his mouth, pulling it away and causing me GREAT pain. I don't want to push his head into my chest...any suggestions or reasons why he's doing this????

An Oppenheim Lecture featuring UCLA Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences & Institute of the Environment and Sustainability Professor Alex Hall.
Scientists have been warning about the global impacts that climate change will bring over the coming decades — but what do those impacts mean for Los Angeles? Do they spell doom for life as we know it in our California paradise? To answer these questions, Professor Alex Hall presented an Oppenheim Lecture on the results of his ground-breaking research on the local impacts of global climate change in the Los Angeles region on May 15, 2013.
By downscaling global climate models to very high resolutions, Professor Hall's work makes climate change relevant to everyone by predicting what the climate will be at the neighborhood level, where people live, work, and play. He predicts the changes that will take place across the Los Angeles landscape by 2050 and 2100, from warmer temperatures and more frequent extreme heat events, to reduced snowfall in the region's mountain ranges and more frequent, larger fires. This work is of critical interest to anyone who needs to prepare this region for the inevitable changes in climate: fire departments, public health officials, electric and gas utilities, businesses, and water and flood control agencies. Dr. Hall also makes it clear that while some climate changes are inevitable, what we do as a society can avoid some of the most extreme climate changes that "business as usual" will bring.
Dr. Hall is an associate professor in UCLA's Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences and a member of UCLA's Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, where he is the faculty director of the UCLA Center for Climate Change Solutions. He is a member of the executive committee of theUCLA-JPL Joint Institute for Regional Earth System Science and Engineering.
He is an internationally recognized climate scientist and member of the Fifth Annual Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Change (IPCC), and the international body that the United Nations relies on for climate predictions. He is a currently a lead author of the IPPC report's chapter on Climate Phenomena and their Relevance for Future Regional Climate Change. His previous work on the 2007 IPPC reports includes helping to develop the global climate models used by the IPPC.
He is a recipient of the NSF Graduate Fellowship (1993-1996), the NASA Earth System Science Fellowship (1996-1998), the Lamont Fellowship (1999-2001), and the NSF CAREER award (2002-2007).

Air travel: how has it changed since 9/11?
Published On: Sep 10 2013 12:00:00 AM CDT
Flying now is a lot different than it was before Sept.11. Not only did the government and airlines introduce a rash of new policies right after the attacks, but subsequent attack attempts and economic downturns altered flying too. Find out more about these changes, tips for getting through security and what is allowed on an airplane.

I always liked looking at these as a kid - so shiny. I think by the 1950s, and certainly the 60's, the mint was making so many of these for collectors that the market was flooded with them. Does anyone know? Am I incorrect?

As we replace old electronic products with newer models, the stockpile of used and obsolete products grows. According to the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), Americans now own approximately 24 electronic products per household. The Solving The E-Waste Problem (StEP) Initiative estimates that in 2012 the United States generated over 65 pounds of e-waste per resident.
The following items are prohibited from being discarded by Indiana households, public (including charter) schools, and small businesses:
Electronics contain heavy metals, including lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium that can be harmful if released into the environment. Recycling electronics ensures these materials are safely managed and that valuable materials such as steel, glass, and plastic, as well as precious metals such as copper, gold, tin, silicon, and aluminum are reclaimed for the manufacturing of new products. Reusing and recycling raw materials from e-waste conserves natural resources and avoids pollution.

Volunteers Help Protect Native Trout
It's no secret that Yellowstone's native cutthroat trout are in trouble. Within the past decade, trout in and around the Park have faced growing threats from invasive species -- especially lake trout -- as well as disease and prolonged drought. The National Park Service is working hard, with the help of volunteers and YPF donors, to improve the outlook for Yellowstone's famous cutthroat populations.
Since 2003, the Yellowstone Park Foundation has funded the highly successful Fly Fishing Volunteers Program, which recruits volunteer anglers to help gather vital biological data from the Park's fish populations. This data is used in critical research studies and restoration efforts.
The eagerness of the volunteers is matched only by the enthusiasm of long-time Volunteer Coordinator for the Fly-Fishing Volunteers Program, Bill Voigt.
"I have met some pretty amazing people over the past years. Our volunteers are the best! They enjoy the park and the wildlife they see going to and from our project sites. Even a poor day's fishing is a great day to them. They are having fun and contributing to science while doing so," said Voigt.
Yellowstone is currently recruiting volunteers for the summer season (July and August) 2012 who are able to offer a day or a few days of their time. Participants meet up with program staff at or near specific research sites on rivers and streams. Sometimes the sites are easily accessble by vehicle and sometimes they are reached on foot or horseback. It is recommended that you sign up early because the volunteer slots have filled up quicky during the last couple of years.
"This project is the most rewarding endeavor I've ever been associated with, and I have to say many thanks to the Foundation for funding the program," said Voigt. "Yellowstone is truly a remarkable place, a real bio-gem."
Learn more about volunteering with the Fly Fishing Volunteers Program.
If you have questions, or would like to volunteer for the summer of 2012, contact Volunteer Coordinator Bill Voigt at email@example.com

Soprano Christine Goerke has been one of the opera singers in the past year to create the most buzz. She's Musical America's Vocalist of the Year for 2015, has performed in major opera houses across the world, and has a Grammy under her belt! Read on to learn more about her amazing career thus far.
What she's doing with us: Christine stars in Die Walküre as Brünnhilde, a goddess and daughter of Wotan, ruler of Valhalla. This marks her much-anticipated debut in a fully staged production of the opera. She will also be returning to sing as Brünnhilde in the COC's upcoming productions of Siegfried in 2016 and Götterdämmerung in 2017.
Where you might have seen her: Christine has appeared in all of the major opera houses of the world including the Metropolitan Opera; Lyric Opera of Chicago; Royal Opera House, Covent Garden; Opéra national de Paris; Théâtre du Châtelet, Théâtre du Capitole in Toulouse; Teatro alla Scala; Teatro Real in Madrid; Deutsche Oper Berlin; San Francisco Opera; Santa Fe Opera; Washington National Opera; Houston Grand Opera; Seattle Opera; Opera Philadelphia; Pittsburgh Opera; New York City Opera; Glimmerglass Opera; Maggio Musicale Fiorentino; Teatro Municipal de Santiago; and the Saito Kinen Festival.
She has received critical acclaim for her portrayals of the title roles in Elektra, Ariadne auf Naxos, Norma, and Iphigénie en Tauride; Kundry in Parsifal, Ortrud in Lohengrin, Leonore in Fidelio, Rosalinde in Die Fledermaus, Ellen Orford in Peter Grimes, Female Chorus in The Rape of Lucretia, Alice Ford in Falstaff, and Madame Lidoine in Dialogues des Carmélites. Last season, she appeared as Brünnhilde in concert performances of Die Walküre with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra.
In addition to her live performances, Christine's recording of Vaughan Williams' A Sea Symphony with Robert Spano and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra won the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Classical Recording and Best Choral Performance!
What the critics have said:
"In a revival of Herbert Wernicke's 2001 production of Die Frau ohne Schatten, the soprano Christine Goerke gave a career-transforming performance as the Dyer's Wife, displaying the kind of vocal stamina that Wagner-Strauss fanciers have been awaiting since Birgit Nilsson delivered her last "hojotoho!" "…she can create a character as she sings, linking musical phrases to form dramatic paragraphs.
- The New Yorker (reviewing Christine as the Dyer's Wife at the Metropolitan Opera)
"The American soprano... proved nothing short of sensational. Imposing of figure and expansive of voice, Christine Goerke.. has everything this killer role requires - an Olympic Gold level of stamina, absolute security of pitch, a rich middle voice, diamantine top register, crisp clarity of diction and the intelligence to paint all the colours of the character's mercurially psychotic personality. "
- The Telegraph (reviewing Christine as Elektra at the Royal Opera, Covent Garden)
"The Elektra was Christine Goerke, in her Lyric debut. Goerke sang the unhinged Greek princess to great acclaim in Madrid last season; she had quite a night in Chicago on October 6. Goerke's "Allein, weh ganz allein" revealed a colossal dramatic soprano of an incisive, intensely feminine quality that remained gleaming and voluptuous despite the force required to crest the monumental orchestral waves Strauss sets against his protagonist. She consistently won the audience's empathy, even when her obsessive vengefulness became more than a little frightening. Her formidable stamina was the more impressive given her clever employment of dynamics—particularly the fining away of tone in a recognition scene that tore one's heart out. Goerke was rewarded in her solo call by a rapturous standing ovation that emerged viscerally from the house as an organic reaction to her tour de-force performance."
- Opera News (reviewing the Lyric Opera of Chicago production)
"Christine Goerke's Brünnhilde was the most subtly characterized role, moving from a devoted, almost kittenish daughter to a tragic, broken spirit; a great journey undertaken in full and glorious voice."
- The New Zealand Herald (reviewing the New Zealand Symphony production)
"A voice like hers comes once in a generation, and I am sure Ms. Goerke will be the next great Dramatic Soprano."
- Houston Examiner (reviewing Christine as Ortrud in Wagner's Lohengrin at Houston Grand Opera)

Indiana Borough Code Enforcement Officer David Kirk has resigned after seventeen years on the job. Council accepted Kirk's resignation in a special session last night at the conclusion of their regular meeting. Kirk will be taking another job elsewhere.
At ther egular meeting, Mayor George Hood told council that the Army Reserve's 420th Engineering Company will finally return to Indiana from Afghanistan today. Their buses will enter town from the east, turn down Oakland Avenue at 9th Street and proceed to the field house where they will be reunited with their families. Mayor Hood asked that at about 4 o'clock, supporters come out to greet the returning soldiers.
In other news, Councilman John Hartman recommended to the council that if they so wish to reduce the size of the council, that the best course of action would be to have two representatives from each ward instead of three, bringing the total down to eight from 12 members. This recommendation comes from an ad hoc committee.
In order to do this, petitions need to be signed by five percent of the electorate in the borough. However, the council will likely not see a vote on the matter until May. The council did not wish to rush a vote before the next election.
There are six council members up for reelection; one from the first ward, two from the second ward, two from the third ward, and one from the fourth ward. If they want to run again they must have their signatures in by March 12. Council President Nancy Jones said that no one has stated publicly if they will run or not.

Boston mourns 2 firefighters killed in blazeap photo
Claudine Lewis, of Boston, places flowers on a makeshift memorial in front of fire station Engine 33/Ladder 15, Thursday, in Boston. Engine 33/Ladder 15 was the station of fallen firefighters Lt. Edward Walsh and Michael Kennedy who lost their lives fighting a nine-alarm blaze in a four-story brownstone in Bostons Back Bay neighborhood Wednesday.
BOSTON One was a fitness enthusiast who helped the wounded after the Boston Marathon bombings and planned to run the race himself this year. The other was a father of three young children who had firefighting in his blood.
The smoke from a wind-whipped fire had dissipated Thursday, but a palpable sadness hung over the city as tributes poured in for Michael Kennedy and Edward Walsh, the two firefighters who died after becoming trapped in a basement in a brownstone apartment building.
The cause of Wednesdays fire, which also sent more than a dozen other firefighters and several police officers to hospitals, was unknown. Steve MacDonald, a fire department spokesman, said a conclusion could be months away.
Outside Engine 33/Ladder 15, the station where Walsh and Kennedy worked, people stopped to pay their respects, some crying, others praying. Flowers were draped on the fire alarm outside the brick building and piles of boutiques accumulated.
Firefighters continued their work.
Life goes on, Dennis Costin said as alarms went off at the station. Its all we can do.
Kennedy, 33, joined the U.S. Marine Corps in 2001 and was on active duty for six years, including a deployment to Iraq, before joining the fire department in 2007.
In April, he was among the first responders to the twin bombings at the Boston Marathon finish line, just a few blocks from the station.
He was devastated by it. He told us about helping to hold someone together, someone with bad injuries, said Shelley White, the general manager of Personalized Fitness, a health and wellness center where Kennedy also worked as a coach in the CrossFit Together program.
Kennedy wrote an essay to earn a spot in the marathon this year and had been training with other firefighters planning to run in the April 21 race, said Gov. Deval Patrick, who was among those who stopped by the station Thursday.
Walsh, whose three children are all younger than 10, was a devoted family man who was physically imposing yet reserved, friends said.
He wasnt one of these rah-rah guys, but he just had a presence about him, said John Tobin, a Northeastern University administrator who lives a few streets from Walshs family in the citys West Roxbury neighborhood.
Tobins son, Matthew, and Walshs son, Dylan, were friends and classmates at Holy Name Parish school, where they played on a basketball team together. On Sunday, Walsh and Tobin engaged in a friendly but vigorous father-child game on the court.
We were joking about who was going to blow out his ACL first, said Tobin.
But Tobin never heard the tall, fit Walsh talk about the dangers of his profession.
It didnt appear from the look of him that Ed was scared of much, said Tobin.
Walsh, 43, grew up in Watertown, part of a family of firefighters. His late father and two uncles were firefighters in that Boston suburb, and a cousin and brother-in-law currently serve in the department.
The fire in the Back Bay neighborhood broke out mid-afternoon as an offshore storm lashed the city with strong winds, causing the flames to spread quickly, officials said.MORE IN Wire NewsMADISON, Wis.

Parrot's Zikmu Speakers Have Style, NXT
Parrot loves Bluetooth, so they teamed up with Phillippe Starck to create a pair of NXT-powered speakers to play nice with your WiFi and iPod-like devices. The oddly-named Zikmu speakers claim 100 W of output from two NXT panels sitting atop some attractive-looking bases. They stand about 2-feet tall and have a built-in dock for an apple portable. What's interesting is the built-in WiFi that lets you stream audio from your network, as well as the built-in Bluetooth, which negates the need for a cord to connect the speakers together. Personally, I'd worry that moving them apart would let the Bluetooth murder your sound fidelity, but I haven't heard them so I can't say for sure. At 2.5-feet tall and $1,500 a pair, they won't be replacing your front channels any day soon, but they'll probably go a long way when it comes to pleasing a design-happy significant other who's sick of big rectangles.

Dozens of La Crosse area residents have a new reason to smile. That's because Valley Dental in Onalaska offered free dental care Friday as part of a national program called Dentistry from the Heart.
It was first-come, first-serve and by noon more than 50 people had already been helped. More than 100 had signed up for services of some kind.
Staff volunteered their time to help as many people as possible with any services they needed. "Extractions, fillings and cleanings, so it's high demand, things they definitely need, there's pain, dental pain, dental infection, so there's things going on and we're taking care of more invasive things today," said Dr. Mike Gavin.
This was Valley Dental's first year participating in the program and they plan to do it again next year.

X-Linked Protoporphyria
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report X-Linked Protoporphyria is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
General Discussion
X-linked protoporphyria is an extremely rare genetic disorder characterized by an abnormal sensitivity to the sun (photosensitivity) that can cause severe pain, burning, and itching of sun-exposed skin. Symptoms may occur immediately or shortly after exposure to the sun, including direct exposure or indirect exposure such as sunlight that passes through window glass or that is reflected off water or sand. Redness and swelling of affected areas can also occur. Blistering and scarring usually do not occur. Chronic episodes of photosensitivity may lead to changes in the skin of sun-exposed areas. Some individuals eventually develop potentially severe liver disease. X-linked protoporphyria is caused by mutations of the ALAS2 gene and is inherited as an X-linked dominant trait. Males often develop a severe form of the disorder while females may not develop any symptoms (asymptomatic) or can develop a form as severe as that seen in males.
X-linked protoporphyria belongs to a group of disorders known as the porphyrias. This group of at least seven disorders is characterized by abnormally high levels of porphyrins and porphyrin precursors due to deficiency of certain enzymes essential to the creation (synthesis) of heme, a part of hemoglobin and other hemoproteins. There are eight enzymes in the pathway for making heme and at least eight different forms of porphyria. The symptoms associated with the various forms of porphyria differ. It is important to note that people who have one type of porphyria do not develop any of the other types. Porphyrias are generally classified into two groups: the "hepatic" and "erythropoietic" types. Porphyrins and porphyrin precursors and related substances originate in excess amounts chiefly from the liver in the hepatic types and mostly from the bone marrow in the erythropoietic types. Porphyrias with skin manifestations are sometimes referred to as "cutaneous porphyrias." The term "acute porphyria" is used to describe porphyrias that can be associated with sudden attacks of pain and other neurological symptoms.
X-linked protoporphyria is an erythropoietic form of porphyria and is extremely similar clinically to erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP). X-linked protoporphyria was first described in the medical literature in 2008.

Six months have passed since a northern fur seal was discovered emaciated and inching along a North Shore beach on Oahu.
It's the first ever northern fur seal spotted in Hawaiian waters.
"I've worked with marine mammals for quite a while. I have my top 10 kinds of weird stories -- of things that, wow, you don't expect to see that! This is definitely in the top 10," said David Schofield from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. "We would never expect to see a fur seal in Hawaii. It was an interesting case for me and one that was memorable."
But, this one was in trouble. NOAA rushed it to the Honolulu Zoo for treatment.
Several days later, NOAA and zoo officials corralled the seal into a specifically designed ice pack chilled crate.
She was then taken to the Honolulu International Airport and carefully loaded on a FedEx plane headed to California. The seal was taken to the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito.
It only took weeks of TLC and lots of fish to get back her seal-like figure -- packing on 25 pounds.
During that time, she captured the hearts of the center's employees and volunteers, who nicknamed her "Golden Missy," after Olympic swimmer Missy Franklin.
On Aug. 23, Golden Missy was released back into the wild at Chimney Rock Beach in the Point Reyes National Seashore.
"She had a satellite tag placed on her. She headed south and west and looked like for a little while she was headed towards Hawaii again, but luckily she took a sharp left turn and headed towards the Gulf of California and Mexico," said Schofield. "The tag only lasted for a short period of time. So, we lost transmission of her, but the fact she was moving so far so quick, we think she's doing fine."
We may never know how Missy arrived in Hawaii. But, her story will live on. We've been told a children's book is in the works about Golden Missy, the wayward seal.

My 4 week old is suddenly pooping light green. He exclusively breastfeeds. Is this ok? I am worried!
My 4 week old is suddenly pooping light green. He exclusively breastfeeds. Is this ok? I am worried!
green poop can be a sign of too much foremilk and no hind milk.
Mother may experience:
Strong or even painful sensation when milk ejects
Frequent spraying of milk from one or both breasts
Excessive leaking
More than one let-down per nursing session
Repeated mastitis (breast infections)
Baby may exhibit:
Fussiness and/or gassiness
Frequent stools, often green, curdy and mucusy
Gulping, gasping and choking while nursing
Excessive weight gain
Apparent lack of "comfort" nursing
Discomfort when breastfeeding, sometimes so intense that baby goes on strike
Possible early weaning (often close to the first birthday, sometimes sooner)
I agree with pp. I had/have fore and hind milk issues. As a result, my DS would have greeny BM.
Do you or baby exhibit any of the symptoms posted above?
Definitely. I haven't had mastitis, but my son's pediatrician thinks I've had a small amount of thrush. The fussiness while eating, the excessive weight gain, the leaking, the spraying of milk, the gasping/choking while nursing, and painful letdown are all problems I'm dealing with.
How do I correct the problem?
Take a look at this link http://www.llli.org/FAQ/oversupply.html It should help you determine if you have an oversupply problem.
Mama to DD Mariah 04/03 2lbs 8oz BF 2yrs 1 day!
DS Ryan 07/06 4lbs 15 oz No solids until 18 mo's!
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world" Gandhi
Do check out the link...I haven't read it, but make sure you look into "block feeding" if it doesn't mention it.
My oldest ds had alot of problems due to Overactive Letdown(OALD) and Oversupply. He actually had pretty explosive watery green poops. It was kind of scary sometimes, you'd get the diaper off while changing it, and out would come another bunch of yucky green. My oldest was also in daycare from 7 weeks until 4.5 mos. I had been block feeding, but it didn't completely clear it up. What was going wrong for me, was that since I was making so much milk...too much...LO would only drink from one breast at a session...so when I pumped at work twice a day and nursed him directly for lunch, I was pumping both breasts...so, by pumping, I was telling my body to make twice as much milk as LO actually drank...and, I pumped so much, that most of the milk was foremilk in the container, I sometimes had to switch containers, but many times stopped pumping after 10 or 12 minutes, but my breasts weren't near being empty, but I didn't realize it, so LO was getting mostly foremilk in his bottles at daycare. That's what caused the explosive green poop and LO drowning in milk at the breast. I actually quit working when LO was 4.5 mos. old and never gave him another bottle (except for 1 I think from frozen milk when dh and I went out). The green poops left within a week, my first whole week home.
If I worked, and had to pump, I would definitely make sure that I pumped only one breast(that's how much our youngest ds eats too...I still make enough milk for a whole country) and I would make sure that I emptied the whole breast when I pumped. If it took 2 containers of milk from the one breast at a time, I'd make sure to thoroughly mix them together before making up a bottle for LO so that he got the same amount of foremilk and hindmilk each time. I think that that'd probably clear up the green poop issues. If your LO does take both breasts at a session, make sure they're both emptied when you pump.
Also google Dr Jack Newmans site. Excellent info there. Good luck!
I have an oversupply problem, and I have found that blockfeeding is helping gradually. Mostly I notice that it gets her poos back to a nice healthy yellow. Whenever they are green or mucusy, but she is producing enough wet/dirty diapers, I just try to nurse on one breast per feeding instead of both.
Thanks for posting this question. I have researched this a couple of times, and been able to rectify it. As the weeks have gone on, his father and I both noticed that his poo was turning green. I couldn't say it was frothy, because I really can't tell with the diaper. But, it is mucousy.
Lately, I have been pumping a whole 5 ounces in the a.m. since dad feeds him the bottle in the middle of the night. Furthermore, when he lets go milk is pouring out everywhere.
Although, he is an overall happy and healthy baby, gaining weight (slowly), feeding every two hours at the least, and having wet and stool diapers; I get worried. I will try this block feeding and see how it works out.
Mom to Jeremiah April 20, 2009 7lbs.6oz. 20.5"
This is helpful to me too. Thanks!
We meet all of the symptoms of oversupply and it is hard to see her so upset while nursing. She turns red from crying even though I try to help her and finally I give her a paci and she settles down. Oversupply can be tough.

The Dating Game
By Health Day
good guy which one wins the girl? Researchers put it to the test.
The dictionary defines a narcissist as a person who is overly self-involved, and often vain and selfish.
If you find that attractive...you're in good company!
German researchers tested the notion that narcissists are chick "magnets" by running a series of tests...including sending 61 men out to see how many phone numbers they could collect from unsuspecting women.
The men had personality evaluations before they hit the streets. The results?
Those who ranked high for narcissism collected the most contact information. The participants who were successful also ranked high in physical attractiveness and social boldness.
Bottom line...being handsome and daring are attractive qualities to many...proving narcissists often DO get the girl.
I'm Dr. Cindy Haines of HealthDay TV with the news doctors are reading health news that matters to you.

Enter HERE INSTEAD
Just Go!
Welcome to RIT Global, your resource for study abroad and international fellowships. With over 400 programs in 50 countries, there is usually a study abroad program for students of every major. RIT Global offers four types of study abroad programs: Gateways, Global Campuses, Faculty-led and Affiliate. Gateway programs are RIT customized programs that are usually major specific. Our global campus programs allow students to directly enroll in one of RIT's overseas campuses in Dubrovnik & Zagreb (Croatia), Dubai (United Arab Emirates) and Pristina (Kosovo). Faculty-led programs are generally major specific and are designed and executed by an RIT faculty member who leads a group of students overseas. Finally, Affiliate programs run through RIT partner organizations. It is important to understand the type of programs you are interested in because each has different benefits for different students and each may have a unique application process.
Getting Started
Get started by creating a profile on the Compass. Use your RIT DCE and password to sign in. Search program offerings by location, your major or by the term you would like to study abroad. Once you've narrowed down the choices to two or three, make an appointment with a Study Abroad Advisor by coming to our office, emailing email@example.com or by calling 585-475-4466.
Read the Essential Study Abroad Questions for more information about programs, registration, billing, grading and more. If you have any other questions, email email@example.com.
Essential Study Abroad Questions
What types of programs are offered?
There are four types of programs offered by RIT Global: Gateways, Global Campus, Faculty-Led programs or Affiliated. For detailed descriptions of these programs please visit the types of programs page. Gateway programs are RIT customized programs that are usually major specific. Global Campus programs take place at RIT's international campuses located in Dubrovnik & Zagreb (Croatia), Dubai (United Arab Emirates) and Pristina (Kosovo). Faculty-led programs are completely designed and developed by an RIT faculty member, who leads a group of students on a program abroad. The location, duration and course offerings of the program depend on the interest and expertise of the faculty member. A student enrolling in a Gateways, Global Campus or Faculty-Led program will pay RIT tuition and earn RIT credits. Affiliated programs are managed through RIT's partnerships with other universities and organizations to enhance the variety of locations and course offerings available to you. Students participating in an affiliate program will pay the tuition amount determined by the partner and will earn overseas credits that will be transferred back to RIT.
Can I receive credit for study abroad?
Yes. All students who study abroad on a program approved by RIT will be eligible to earn academic credit.
Will the credit count towards my degree?
You will need to discuss with your academic advisors if and how the credit will count towards your degree. Students will need to complete a course pre-approval form to determine how credit will be applied to their degree. You will obtain a course pre-approval form when you meet with the study abroad Advisor.
When can I go abroad? For how long can I go?
Typically most students go abroad in their sophomore or junior year, but you can apply to study abroad as early as spring semester of your freshman year. Programs vary in length and range from short term summer programs of a few weeks to a full academic year. Most students study abroad for one semester at a time and the summer semester is the most popular.
How much does study abroad cost?
The cost of studying abroad varies depending on the program. In general, you will pay tuition, an administration fee, a program fee (which typically covers housing, excursions, local transportation, visa fees, etc) and out-of-pocket expenses such as your flight, food and spending money. Your exact fees will be detailed on a budget worksheet given to you by a study abroad advisor or faculty-director. In most cases, students are eligible for financial aid if they maintain full-time status overseas. We suggest you do additional research on things such as flight costs, travel costs within your host country, travel costs to other areas you would like to visit while abroad and daily living expenses. It is the student's responsibility to make an appointment with their financial aid advisor to discuss the budget worksheet and a potential aid package.
Does my financial aid apply to study abroad?
As long as you maintain full time status of 12 semester credits, financial aid will apply in most cases. Specific financial aid questions are best addressed on a student-by-student basis, so after obtaining a budget worksheet from either RIT Global or the faculty director leading the program, please contact the Financial Aid Office to set up an appointment with your financial aid counselor.
When and how do I pay for Study Abroad?
Once you've been accepted to a program, you are responsible for paying the required deposit (amount varies for every program) directly to the affiliate or RIT. The affiliate school bills RIT for the cost of the program, minus the deposit paid, and RIT will bill your student account directly. Payment is made to RIT just as if you were taking classes on campus, only the amount will be based on the affiliate charges, not RIT tuition. RIT then pays the affiliate. Students attending a Gateway, RIT Global Campus or a faculty led program will be charged RIT tuition and a program fee directly to the student account.
To find out the costs of the program(s) you are interested in, please make an appointment with the study abroad Advisor by calling 585-475-4466 to obtain the Budget Worksheet for the program(s) you are interested in. The budget worksheets include a breakdown of all fees and tuition charges, as well as, an estimate of personal costs you may incur while abroad.
Can I receive scholarships to study abroad?
Many affiliate programs have scholarships available, so speak to your provider for more information about these. Some may have a separate application process, so make sure to find out about the process and any deadlines. RIT Global also has resources available for you to research and apply for scholarships to assist with the cost of study abroad. For more information, visit the Felowships section.
How does registration and grading work for study abroad?
For students attending a global campus program, students will be registered by a member of the global program staff for actual RIT courses and will receive letter grades. These grades will be counted in a student's GPA. For students studying abroad on faculty-led programs, the faculty director or administrator in the faculty director's college will register students for actual RIT courses and students will receive letter grades. These grades will be counted in the student's GPA. For students studying abroad on affiliated programs, they will be registered for all study abroad credits in one course number with a title based on the country they are going to, for example "Study Abroad Italy" for 12 credits. After the program is over the overseas institution will send a detailed transcript with each course taken abroad and corresponding letter grade to Study Abroad & Fellowships. Study Abroad & Fellowships will complete the RIT paperwork necessary to apply the Pass or Fail grade. Student must earn at least a C in order to have a Passing grade. Passing grades will not be counted in the student's GPA, however, failing grades will.
How immersed in the culture will I be?
Our programs offer varying levels of cultural immersion and the student should choose a program based on the immersion level that is most comfortable for them. Less immersive programs are typically shorter, offer courses taught in English and students live with other study abroad students. More immersive programs are typically longer, may allow options for living with local students or in a home stay and include some or all classes in the local language or in study of the local language.
How do I apply for study abroad through RIT?
Complete your profile and online application on The Compass and then schedule an appointment with our study abroad Advisor. There may be a second application required depending on the program chosen; if so, this will be discussed during your appointment.
Where can I go to find out more about study abroad?
For your convenience, RIT Global is open every day from 9:00am until 4:00 pm.

If I am deaf or hard of hearing, what access services will be available to me on a study abroad program?
Requests for access service support are handled on a case by case basis. It is strongly recommended to request services early to increase your chances of receiving services. Other determining factors include, but are not limited to, the dates of the program and the ability to find access service staff/contacts who have the specific skill sets required. For more information or to place service request, please contact Chris Felo at email@example.com.
Can I study abroad on a program not affiliated with RIT?
Yes, but you will not be able to be billed and registered at RIT during your time abroad. This will make you ineligible for RIT financial aid and may affect your health insurance if you need to prove full time enrollment as a student to stay on your current plan. It is also strongly recommended that you talk with the Registrar's Office and your academic advisor to ensure that your credits earned while abroad will transfer back and count towards your degree and that this conversation is documented in writing. Please check the Independent Study Abroad section under the types of programs page for step-by-step instructions.

Tigers Abroad Photos
Tigers Abroad is a quarterly photo contest for RIT study abroad students. Each student is given a small stuffed tiger when they attend their mandatory pre-departure meeting and are tasked with taking pictures of their tiger in the most beautiful and creative places they encounter on their travels. Three winners are chosen each quarter and then compete for a grand prize.
