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.  Attend the Study Abroad Fair Week 2025 from September 29 - October 3 with various Study Abroad Info Sessions
   • 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! 
   • After doing all of your research, 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 the following. 
     •  YOUR DUS is your Academic Advisor and the information can be found:
       - at the top of your GPS audit
       - through the Undergraduate Student Advisor Lookup app
       - by emailing mendozaugradadvising@nd.edu
     • Note: No need to email or meet with any of these approvers because they receive a notice!

Do your research! Read through the information on the Study abroad website!  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.
