Completing an Application

After consulting with advisors and returned students, you should choose a program and begin to fit potential courses into your academic schedule with your faculty advisor.

Approximately the semester before you plan to apply to a study abroad program, you should make an appointment with our office (x7363) to go over the application forms.

For example, if you will be applying to go on a fall study abroad program during your junior year, the application deadline would be February 15. We would recommend making the application advising appointment towards the middle or end of the fall semester of your sophomore year.

This appointment typically lasts 30-45 minutes; you should bring a copy of your unofficial transcript (printed off the web) with you.

At the same time (or earlier), you should begin to explore additional funding and scholarship opportunities.

Along with your faculty advisor, you will select courses and be pre-approved for credit. Note: Your faculty advisor or department will determine all awarding of major and minor/concentration credit. Each department has their own individual policies.
