Steps for Applying

The Office of International Education strongly encourages students to start their study abroad journey by reaching out to the Director of Financial Aid on their respective campus (if applicable) as well as with an Academic Advisor. It is important to begin the Study Abroad conversation with these individuals so that you can:

1. Confirm if you have any aid that you might be eligible to apply towards your study abroad.
2. Understand the coursework that remains for you to complete your pathway. Remember, all courses abroad should progress you toward an on-time graduation!
