Application Process for Outgoing Exchange Students

Deadline

Students who meet the eligibility requirements must follow the steps on this page in order to complete the application process.

When filling out the online application, students will be asked to rank the top three (3) universities to which they would like to apply.

Application Steps

1. Apply online. The first time you visit the online application please click on the "Register" link.

2. Complete all required fields on the online application form and click on "Save". You will also have to attach the following documents to your online application:

   1. Resume

      This can be a standard resume that you would use when seeking employment. It should outline your skills and abilities and present who you are as a person.

   2. Statement of Interest

      A statement of interest is a document in which you describe and explain your intent to study abroad. An emphasis should be placed on the benefit an exchange will have to your academics, but goals and desires of a personal nature can also be shared. The statement of interest should be approximately one page in length (approximately 250 - 500 words). Please be sure to put as much effort and care into the statement of interest as you would any other piece of academic work. Spelling and grammatical errors should be strictly avoided. The statement of interest is reviewed by the selection committee and is a direct reflection of you, so be sure it is of high quality.

   3. Assessment of Language Competence (if applicable)

      If the language of study at the host institution is not English, students will be required to pass an assessment of language competence. Students will be assessed by one of the language assessors who will complete this form for you.

3. Meet with academic advisor Sriyani Dissanayake for course approval. (See the pre-approved course lists below to get started.) Students may choose three universities for potential exchanges. A "Proposed Study Plan" must be submitted for all three institutions. A list of available courses will be available in the host institution's course calendar. Once the courses have been approved, the academic advisor will also approve the courses listed on the online application.
