Initial Advising Define your objective:
At the beginning of the study abroad process, you should consider your reasons for studying abroad. Students intending to study abroad are recommended to come in to the Center for Global Education and Exchange Office to discuss your interests and the options available out there, and hopefully to find the best match for you. - A very important tip to remember while choosing your options is to be updated with travel warnings and travel alerts. And also to keep track of the world wide caution news updates. Should you be studying abroad in a country where a travel warning is issued, you will be advised to evacuate in keeping with the U.S. State Department advisory.
However, students who have already decided on the host university or program they wish to enroll can start their journey by going through the application process in chronological order.
If you wish to proceed into the process, FIRST you must login or create an account on the Center for Global Education and Exchange Program website. You MUST complete all the categories of information in order for your account to be successfully saved.
