Advising

WHAT IS THE APPLICATION PROCESS? 

1. Do your research, view the Study Abroad Virtual Course, and attend information sessions for the ND study abroad programs you are considering. These will help you make informed decisions about where you will apply and why.  Additional information on each of the programs, including courses offered, is available through the Study Abroad website.
2.  VIEW the Mendoza Study Abroad Info Session
   • There is no need to meet with an advisor or assistant dean.  There is no need to email an advisor or dean for application approval!  Earlier, we held informal, one-hour sessions hosted by a Mendoza Academic Advisor in Mendoza's Jordan Auditorium.  There were 11 dates and times.
   • After attending (or viewing) the Info Session, you can update your plan of study to reflect the impact of an international semester on your course sequencing, but it is certainly not required.
   • The majority of your business courses will need to be completed on the main campus, so it's important to use the Study Abroad website and the Study Abroad Course Guide summary sheet below to see what's available in the locations you are considering.
   • Be sure you name the appropriate approver on your application. EVERYONE lists Andrew Wendelborn as their Advising Dean. Your DUS Approval: 1st Major is determined by your last name. (Note: No need to email or meet with any of these approvers because they receive a notice!)
     • A-D     Amy Radvansky

WHAT IF I AM UNABLE TO GO TO A MENDOZA STUDY ABROAD INFO SESSION?

If you are unable to attend a Mendoza Study Abroad Info Session, there will be a Mendoza Academic Advisor set up for your questions at a table in the Mendoza Atrium on Mondays & Tuesdays from 12 noon to 2:00 p.m. beginning Sept. 18 through October.  Look for the Undergraduate Studies flag. Attend ND Study Abroad Office location specific info sessions and research the programs and requirements.  Ensure you note the appropriate approvers on your study abroad application(s). No need to meet with or email them separately! The advising team will then review your plan and add Dean and DUS approvals.

NOTE:  You are asking to go live in a foreign country which means you'll need to navigate unfamiliar territory.  Researching the programs and following directions is part of that navigational learning curve.
