Are you applying to study abroad in the 2017-18 school year?
The deadline for the application is Friday, Jan. 13, 2017; however, remember to start the process before Christmas break! The signature form and the medical form alone can take a few days to complete, so we recommend starting now. Also be aware that the faculty reference form needs to be done by Jan. 13, so be sure to get that to the faculty member as soon as possible.
These last few weeks can be crazy, but get started now! Feel free to stop by the Center for Study Abroad (in Lemmons 9) if you have any questions.
