Applying to a non-DU program

Applying to a non-DU program

The purpose of this application is to gain approval from DU to study abroad as a DU student on a non-DU program. You must apply for admission to your chosen study abroad program directly, not through the DU Study Abroad Office.

1. Log onto myWeb
  • Select the Student & Financial Aid tab
  • Click on Study Abroad
  • Click on Study Abroad Application

2. Select Apply to a non-DU program.

3. Select the term, duration, country, and program for which you are applying. If you do not see your study abroad program listed, select the generic Non-DU Program 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: If you have selected the generic Non-DU Program as your program, handwrite the specific program 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 completed materials to the Study Abroad Office before the deadline.

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!
