Advising

WHAT IS THE APPLICATION PROCESS? 

1. Do your research, view the Study Abroad Virtual Course, and attend as many information sessions for the ND study abroad programs you are interested in. 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 a Mendoza MANDATORY Study Abroad Workshop (SAW)
   • The Study Abroad Workshop registration is available on the Student Dashboard.
   • After attending a workshop, you will update your plan of study to reflect the impact of an international semester on your course sequencing. 
   • 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: 
     • A-D     Amy Radvansky
     • E-K    Lisa Heming
     • L-Q    Jen Washko
     • R-Z     Gina Shropshire

You must update your plan of study for one international location by October 16, in order to receive Mendoza approvals for Study Abroad.

WHAT DO I DO IF I FAILED TO ATTEND A STUDY ABROAD WORKSHOP?

If you fail to attend a Study Abroad Workshop, you will need to use the resources linked above in order to update your plan of study for one international location and ensure you note the appropriate approvers on your study abroad application(s). The advising team will then review your plan and add Dean and DUS approvals, if merited. Note: Since you failed to follow our directions and take advantage of a workshop to be guided through this process, you should not expect an advisor to walk you through it.

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. You must update your plan of study for one international location by October 16, in order to receive Mendoza approvals for Study Abroad.
