Please note: Monteverde is co-sponsored as a single-site option only and may not be included as a site in the Open Campus multi-site model. IU supports its students on single-site, semester co-sponsored programs through standard billing and academic arrangements between IU and the program provider. Consequently, the CIEE Open Campus multi-site academic and billing model can only be accommodated through Non-IU Program procedures. For more information, see: https://overseas.iu.edu/programs/non-iu/index.html.
**Note: -OS 2/300 is the default designation to identify courses recorded as 2/300-level undistributed credit that can count in total hours toward graduation and may be able to satisfy major, minor, or distributional requirements with the approval of participant's school.
