GRADUATE ELECTIVE ABROAD APPLICATION PROCESS

Application Process

Once the Elective Abroad applications open, you will need to complete the following four application requirements before the stated deadline. Only applications that are 100% complete will be considered. 

  1. CHOOSE your program of interest
  2. REVIEW program dates, eligibility & policies
  3. CLEAR your calendar of conflicts for pre-travel, travel, and post-travel program dates
  4. COMPLETE all application materials by the application deadline including:
    • Graduate Application
    • Additional Applicant Information Form
    • Emergency Contact Form
    • Passport Information & Submission
    • Mobile Phone Information
    • Acknowledgment of Pre-departure Sessions

Selection Process

Applications will be reviewed in two phases: (1) following the initial application deadline and (2) throughout the rolling application phase. Students are encouraged to apply before the initial application deadline. Once a course reaches capacity, additional students will be placed on the waitlist.

Applicants will be notified the week following the application deadline whether they have been accepted or waitlisted for the course.

If more students apply for a course than the course maximum, each student will be assigned a random lottery number. Students with lottery numbers up to the course maximum will be accepted to the course. Students with lottery numbers beyond the course maximum will be placed on an ordered waitlist.

Students will be added to the course at regular intervals throughout the rolling application phase.

Once the course has reached capacity, new applications will be put into a lottery and students will be placed on the waitlist.
