Attend one of the general Information Sessions offered throughout the year. During this session you will find out about the variety of study abroad opportunities available. You will also be introduced to the study abroad policies, procedures and guidelines.
Once you have considered your motivations and requirements, you can research programs based on your academic requirements, interests, resources, and time. The study abroad resource library is a great place to start your search.
Consult an academic adviser to determine the credits and courses remaining to complete your degree and for advice on the courses which best fit your major. After this meeting, you should be able to identify classes which you could take while abroad to meet degree requirements.
Make an appointment to meet with a Study Abroad Adviser to discuss your options once you have a few programs in mind. Together, you can review the costs, application deadlines, and other requirements.
Visit the Financial Aid Office, or consult a financial aid representative, if necessary.
Obtain an application form from a Study Abroad Adviser or off the forms and applications page of the Study Abroad website. For non-TU programs, check the website or catalog for the program you have chosen.
Submit your completed application (for any program or exchange) to your Study Abroad Adviser prior to the published deadline for review and mailing.
Apply for a passport and student visa (if one is required by your host country - check with the embassy of that country to determine if you need a visa.)
Congratulations! Once you have been accepted to a program, you will receive more information about your program or host institution. You now need to complete the Study Abroad Course Form (available in the Study Abroad Office) and return it to the Study Abroad Office as soon as possible.
