开始计划永远不会嫌早! We recommend the following steps to success:

  1. Start the conversation early with both your academic advisor and the Education Abroad office. We generally say that you should reach out to the Education Abroad office (studyabroad@0933282516.com) about a year before you actually want to leave.
  2. Note the application deadlines – the priority deadline to complete a study abroad application is September 1st for Winter and Spring programs, 2月1日为夏季和秋季课程. 
  3. 保持你的成绩! All programs have minimum eligibility requirements, 包括平均绩点, 等级或课程先决条件.
  4. 远离麻烦. Student conduct is a factor is the study abroad application and approval process.
  5. Stay informed and on top of your AU finances. Being knowledgeable about your financial aid package (if applicable) and understanding AU billing will make choosing the right program easier.
  6. 考虑语言学习. Though not necessary to study abroad (many of our programs offer classes in English), knowing a second language opens up your options.
