Step 1: Take the mandatory Study Abroad 101 Quiz on Blackboard.
To register for the quiz, email studyabroad@northwestern.edu with "Study Abroad 101" in the subject line. Include your name and NetID in the email.
Be patient! Registration takes places once a week, and you will receive a confirmation email with instructions at that time. You can take the quiz as many times as needed to score a 90% or above.
NOTE: Students planning on applying to a Northwestern-run summer program only do NOT need to complete the Quiz and should instead consult the individual summer program pages for application instructions.
Step 2: After successfully earning a 90% or above on the quiz, stop by the Study Abroad Office (630 Dartmouth Place) to pick up the NU Application for Permission to Study Abroad. This application is not available online and must be picked up in person. Applications for Summer 2009 and the 2009-2010 academic year will be available in early Fall 2008.
Step 3: (Strongly recommended) Schedule an appointment with a Study Abroad Adviser to discuss program options and specific concerns. For students interested in studying abroad on a Non-Northwestern summer program, this step IS required and students should plan on meeting with a study abroad advisor well in advance of the March 5 summer deadline.
Step 4: Apply to study abroad.
June 2: Winter/Spring 2009 application deadline
