How do I Apply?
Quarter Length Programs
When applying for an Overseas Studies quarter-length program you will need to apply two quarters in advance, unless you are applying for the Kyoto SCTI Program, which is three quarters in advance, excluding the Summer Quarter.
- There will be two application rounds. You can apply to ONE program in each application round (each application round has a different deadline, see table below.)
- Results will be announced two weeks after each deadline giving students waitlisted in the 1st round an option to apply for the 2nd round.
- Programs oversubscribed after the 1st round will not accept applications in the 2nd round. Students are encouraged to apply for their desired program in the first round since an oversubscribed program may not be available in the 2nd round.
- During the 2nd round, all students (including students who did not apply during the 1st round) are eligible to submit an additional application for another program.
For more information please visit the application policies and FAQ section of the application website.
