Study abroad for credit: DU* and non-DU programs

*If you are participating in a DU program through your department or Special Community Programs, please contact your sponsor for application instructions rather than following the checklist below.

  • Talk to your academic adviser to determine the type of courses and credit value that can be transferred back into your specific degree.
  • Research program options
  • For non-DU programs only, submit Non-DU Pre-Approval Form to Study Abroad Office.
  • Complete credit approval from academic unit — advisor or dean. You will submit this form with your DU Study Abroad paperwork.
  • Apply through myWeb and submit the paperwork to the Study Abroad Office. A complete application includes the myWeb application signed by your advisor, the Authorization to Release Information form, the Credit Approval form, and the Risks, Responsibilities Agreement and Release form.
  • Apply to host program/institution.
  • Upon acceptance into the program, inform the Study Abroad Office for registration into a study abroad course.
  • Register your travel plans on the myWeb International Travel Menu and complete post-acceptance DU paperwork, including the Student Conduct Form, Medical Information and Other Needs form, and obtain an ISIC card at the Pioneer ID Office.
  • Graduate students must be registered for at least half-time enrollment to be eligible for financial aid awards. You will be registered at DU based on the credits that are approved. In turn, financial aid awards will be based on the registration credit. You will not receive financial aid for a non-credit program or language study abroad. You are encouraged to speak directly with the Financial Aid Office for details on your specific aid package.

Required International Experience, no credit earned
