Study in the U.S.A. - Southeast (in English) - ISEP Exchange
As an ISEP student, you can build your own program by choosing your courses from a variety of fields. Use the notes for course searching to help you find which courses are available.
HOUSING
ISEP benefits include a traditional double or triple room in a residence hall. If a student wishes to upgrade their accommodations, they may do so by indicating on their Housing Application included in their acceptance package. Rooming upgrade fees will apply, and students will be required to pay the difference upon arrival.
MEALS
Incoming students are automatically enrolled in the tier A-250 plan.
Plans can be used in the Triton Pub (not all-you-can-eat) and Café Bon Appétit Dining Hall on an “all-you-care-to-eat” basis; one block is used per meal when dining.
Block meal plans include an additional flex dollar feature for added convenience. The flex dollar program is a declining balance account that works like a debit card for food. As students spend flex dollars, the flex amount is reduced. This feature offers students the option of purchasing items at Triton’s Pub and Starbucks. As an alternative to using a block meal, students may also use flex dollars to purchase food for themselves or their guests at any of the campus dining locations. The amount of flex dollars included in Tier A-250 (Anytime Plan) is 25 meals Weekly.
