The Application Process
SAO is pleased that you are preparing to begin the application process.
My
SAO will be your entry point for accessing the application and
all follow up requirements. Students who have not met with a Study Abroad Advisor
or BBA Exchange Advisor will not be able to access the real time application
via the portal. There are four stages to the Student Portal: (1) Application,
(2) Pending, (3) Accepted and (4) Away. Each stage will require you
to complete online forms and turn in some paper documents to the appropriate
office.
Please Note: Most Faculty Led program applications begin at the department
level. Please check with the departmental contact before preceeding.
Steps to Applying:
Attend a General Information Session. Meet with a Study Abroad Advisor. Obtain authorization to apply. Begin the application process (see below).
Application Deadlines:
SAO Programs: October 1 (spring programs) or March 1 (summer, fall and academic year programs)
For the BBA International Programs, the application deadline for students who want to study abroad on a BBA Exchange for Fall 2007, Summer 2007, and Spring 2008 is March 1, 2007.
