Walk-In Hours

Students are not required to take the Study Abroad 101 Quiz prior to coming in for walk-in hours. Walk-in hours are for general questions about the study abroad process, how to get started, the application process, etc. No appointment is necessary -- just come in during walk-in hours and sign in at the front desk. Walk-ins will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis, and meetings are limited to 15 minutes.

If you have country- or program-specific questions or would like additional support, you should schedule an appointment to meet with a Study Abroad Adviser.

Emergency Contact

If you have an emergency outside of normal business hours, please call the Northwestern University Police at 847-491-3456. They will contact the Study Abroad Office staff, and a staff member will call you back as soon as possible.

Disability Accessibility

The Study Abroad Office is located on the second floor. Because the building is not accessible to all students, office staff will make arrangements to meet with students elsewhere as appropriate.
