I would like to study in an international city where Notre Dame does not have a program. May I do this?

Students have 2 options to apply to non-Notre Dame Study abroad programs.

Petition Process: Pending ND Study Abroad Office and MCOB approvals, students may submit information about a non-ND program as an option by the November 1st deadline. Students must provide compelling rationale why the non-Notre Dame program provides unique support for their curriculum. Students may apply to Notre Dame Programs at the same time they are submitting a Petition Process request. Contact the Study Abroad Office for more information.
Study Abroad Leave of Absence (LOA): If students have applied to and been wait-listed or denied acceptance to a Notre Dame International Study program, then these students may apply for a VERY LIMITED number of Study Abroad Leave of Absence (LOA) approvals. The application and more information is located on this webpage. If approved, students may attend a non-Notre Dame Study Abroad Program and have approved credits transferred back to their transcripts. Without having applied to any Notre Dame International Study Programs, students are not eligible for a Study Abroad LOA.
