When did you do your CP?

[iheartaladdin]

Hi, I'm curious as to when you did your CP? Did you do it after graduation? Or did you take a semester off? If so did you lose any scholarships or financial aid? I'd like to do the CP and found out today one of my friends is definatly going to do it. I'm just not sure if I should take a semester off or graduate first. Basically I'm afraid of losing financial aid. I'll go talk to my advisor soon, but I was curious as to how everyone else did it. Thanks!

I've applied for the Fall '09 program, and my school (Missouri State University--Go Bears!) is just putting a hold on my scholarship. It's a scholarship that can be renewed for up to 8 semesters, and I've used 4. So I'm going to do a semester at the CP, and then I'll still have another 4 semesters worth of scholarship to use after I get back.

They will also sign me up for a pseudo-"class" for the semester that I'm at Disney, so that I still show up as a full-time student at MSU for insurance and loan purposes, etc.

I don't know how other schools do it, but I would imagine most of them could do something like this.

Good luck!

Thanks! Hopefully my school has something similar to that. Have fun in the fall!

I am doing fall advantage for my last semester. Luckily my school is allowing me to receive my last 9 hours during all of this. I am taking one Disney class, one internship credit, and one independent study with a professor at my college (McNeese State University)

I did my first CP after 1 semester (Spring 2005). I've also done FA 2006, Summer 2007, and Summer 2008. I also will be doing Fall 2009 (and I graduate this summer!!).

And I was lucky. I got credits for my first 2 CPs.
