1. Log onto myWeb
  • Select the Student & Financial Aid tab

2. Select Apply to a DU program as a Cherrington Global Scholar.
If you do not see this option, you currently do not meet one or more of the eligibility requirements for the Cherrington program. In this case, follow the directions for Applying to a DU program, but not as a Cherrington Scholar, which includes instructions on how to petition for an exception to the Cherrington eligibility requirements.

3. Select the term, duration, country, and program for which you are applying. If you are not sure which program to select, contact your study abroad advisor.
>> Note for ISEP applicants: If you are applying to an ISEP program and do not see your site-specific program listed, select the generic ISEP Exchange option and continue.

4. When you have completed the online application, print it and take it to your Academic Advisor (from the department of your major) for his/her signature.
>> Note for ISEP applicants: If you have selected the generic ISEP Exchange as your program, handwrite the specific university's name on your application.

5. Complete the additional forms required for your DU application.
>> Click the Forms link on the left-hand side of this page to print them off.

6.Submit your complete application to the Study Abroad Office before the deadline.
A complete application includes all of the DU Study Abroad Application materials as well as the application for your program.

7. If you have not yet applied for a passport, do so immediately! http://travel.state.gov/passport
The passport can take several weeks to process, and you must have a passport before you can apply for a student visa. A visa isn’t required for all countries, but some have lengthy application processes. Ask your Study Abroad Advisor!
