Application Deadlines
Normally, we must receive your application and fees no later than 14 days before the program starts. Acceptance of late applications is subject to space availability.
Financial Aid
In many cases, it is possible for students to transfer much or all of their financial aid to pay for our study abroad program. However, students should discuss specific plans with study abroad advisors and financial aid counselors well in advance of the program. It is the student's responsibility to understand the home institution's requirements and deadlines regarding all financial aid funds.
Academic Credit
Students who wish to receive credit for our programs should contact the study abroad office or Spanish language department at your college or university prior to starting the program. Present your plan to them asking for detailed requirements on how to arrange credit in advance. With the detailed information from your home-campus, our staff will design a syllabus and course content to match your university's requirements, and we'll provide grade transcripts and any other necessary documentation to complete arrangements.
