Items Needed to Submit Interest Form

In order to be considered to study away for a semester or an academic year, we require the following information to consider your interest form complete:

  • General Background Information- Name, Email, Address, etc
  • Term Selection- Fall Semester or Spring Semester. Academic Year (Fall & Spring Semester) applicants should select Fall Semester.
  • 1st choice program selection - 2nd and 3rd choice locations are optional*
  • Transcript
  • Academic Details- Major, Class Standing, Anticipated Graduation Year
  • Study Abroad Advisor Approval Form (from home institution)
  • Citizenship Details
  • Emergency Contact Information
  • Location-Specific Details

*A second or third choice will be reviewed if there is limited space at your first choice location. By selecting additional choices this does not decrease your likelihood of receiving an offer to enroll at your first choice location. If you do not select a second or third choice, this does not mean you are guaranteed an offer at your first choice location. It is possible you will be placed on a waitlist should your first choice location be at capacity.

Once you submit your intrerest form, you will have access to apply for additional optional opportunities (where available). Access to opportunities is based on your first choice location:

  • Specialized Academic Program
  • For-credit and Non-credit Internships
