Apply for Study Abroad

Now that you have researched your study abroad options with the help of your academic and study abroad advisors and have made a selection based on your academic and personal preferences, you can begin the application process.
Please carefully follow the instructions below to make sure you have correctly completed the application forms. The DU portion of your study abroad application requires that you complete an online form and print other forms located on myWeb.

You do not need to wait until the application deadline to submit your application materials. In fact, because most programs accept students on a rolling basis, a few may fill before the stated deadline. However, you will not be able to apply to a program more than a year in advance.


Application Deadlines for DU Programs

The priority deadline for all fall or academic year programs of January 18th. For applications turned in by this date, immediate consideration will be granted to those applications meeting the program requirements. All ISEP applications must be completed by this priority deadline. DU offers a number of competitive programs, so for these programs applications completed by the priority deadline will have the best chance of acceptance. We encourage students to apply by this date for optimal consideration of their application.

The regular deadline is March 14th and applications turned in by this date will be reviewed as a group, with the strongest applications having an advantage for remaining spaces in competitive programs. Late applications will be considered on a space available basis.

For students planning on studying abroad for winter quarter or spring semester the deadline is
October 1st.

For student planning on study abroad for the spring quarter the deadline is February 1st.

For either winter quarter/spring semester programs or for spring quarter programs, submission earlier than the stated deadlines improves the likelihood of acceptance.

For students wishing to petition for the Cherrington Global Scholars program, the petition deadline is March 14th. Petitions will be reviewed after grades from winter quarter have been posted.

Remember that there are two parts to each application: the DU online application available through Myweb and the program specific applications. Please consult with your Study Abroad Advisor for program specific materials.

All materials should be turned into the Study Abroad Office. No application should be sent directly to a program.
