Please adhere to your home university deadlines as well. Contact your home university study abroad office for details. Explanations of Required Application Materials Application Form  Complete the online study abroad application form - if you do not yet have a MyLearn account, you will need to create one first. The application will ask you to select your first and second choice of the university you would like to attend. Your program choice can be changed in the initial stages of the process without additional application fees or penalties.

Mandatory Web-Accessible Email Address In order to best communicate with you throughout the application process and your time abroad, we require every student to establish and maintain throughout the pre-departure process and during the study abroad program, a universally accessible email account. (This can be through your home university or with an Internet service like gmail.com or yahoo.com.) Official Transcript Order one official transcript from your home university showing at least 25-32 credits of completed academic work (include current registration, where possible). This transcript can be included with your application or your university can mail it directly to our office. If you are a transfer student and have only just completed your first semester at your home university, please send an official copy of your previous university or college results. Transcripts must be official. Faculty Reference Download a Faculty Reference Form (PDF). Give the Form to a faculty member who has taught you in a university/college setting. Once completed, the faculty member may return it to you in a sealed envelope or mail/fax the form directly to our office. An online form is also available through your MyLearn account if you would rather email your faculty reference a link to complete the form electronically. Photographs Obtain the appropriate number of 2” x 2” photographs of your head and shoulders (see chart below). The photographs are for various paperwork purposes: housing, International Student Identity Card, and your general file. They do not have to be official passport photos, but they should be head-and-shoulder shots of yourself small enough to fit on an ID card (2" x 2"). You can take them yourself and print them out or cut them out from previous photos, as long as they are clear, legible, in color, and appropriate.
