Thinking about studying abroad? Here's how to get started!
Steps to Getting Started

Open an application!

- For summer quarter AUP/UPPs, click here to open a summer application.
- There is no commitment in opening an application. The OIE asks that all students open an application right after attending a First Step Session.
-
Review the Study Abroad Handbook in Canvas.
- The Study Abroad Handbook is the best place to find information for all things study abroad.
-
Research programs!
- Watch regional info videos before meeting with an OIE advisor
- Review the online program brochure in DU Passport.
- Visit the program's website for more details such as course lists, program dates, and more.
-
Got questions?
- General Advising during drop-in hours will be available in the basement of the I-House and at AAC on Fridays, a meeting with your region/program specific advisor during these times is not guaranteed.
-
Schedule an appointment with an OIE advisor.
- Some DUPPs (please check Eligibility Requirements in program brochures) and all unaffiliated programs require an individual advising appointment with the region/ program's designated advisor in order to be eligible to apply.
- Click here to schedule an appointment with an OIE advisor.
- You can also refer to the Which OIE Advisor Should I see? map to find your advisor.
-
Register for the required INTZ course(s).
- All undergraduate students studying abroad through OIE are required to take credit-bearing coursework related to their study abroad experience. Please refer to the DU Study Abroad Policies for more info.
- Complete the DU Study Abroad Nomination Application before the deadline (January 17th, 2019 for all 2019-2020 programs). Applications for summer quarter 2019 (AUPS & UPPs) are due April 7th, 2019.
These steps must be completed before the deadline. It typically takes 4 to 6 weeks to complete all steps.
Don't forget that the application is just one small step of your study abroad journey! You will have lots of preparation to do before you depart, too.
