Applying for a short-term program from overseas

If I am currently studying abroad, can I apply for a short-term program from overseas?

(January Term, June Term, or Spring-Embedded program)


Students currently on study abroad programs can apply for a short-term program while abroad. In order to do so you must:

  • Look at the short-term portion of this website regarding program offerings, course descriptions, costs, etc. 
  • Print and complete the downloadable application materials. Read the checklist carefully to ensure that your application will be complete. 
  • Be aware of deadlines. International Education will accept applications received by fax or by proxy (friend or relative) on the stated deadline.
  • Some programs may require a faculty director signature. You can contact the faculty director by email to obtain their "signature" or clearance for you to apply. 
  • The deposit can be mailed in or submitted by proxy by the stated deadline.
  • Photos can be submitted to the IEC upon your return. Although you may have received an ISIC for a previous study abroad program, cards are only valid for one year so a new card may be necessary.
