Steps to Study Abroad

IN THIS SECTION

Ask the International Programs Coordinator
  • What courses are being offered on the programs in which I am interested?
  • Which courses seem, based on the course descriptions, to be a good fit for the course(s) I need to take?
  • What time of year can I travel?
  • What are the application deadlines?
Ask the Financial Aid Associate Director
  • Is my FAFSA up to date with NU?
  • Do any of my existing grants, scholarships, and loans transfer toward my program of choice?
  • How does may financial aid shift per my program budget?
  • Am I eligible for any additional funding through scholarships or loans?
Ask Your Academic Advisor
  • What requirements do I need to complete while away in order to graduate on time?
  • Are there any requirements that fit in my schedule only the semester I’m away?
  • Are there any prerequisite or required sequential courses that affect when I can participate in Study Abroad (e.g. availability of Physics I and Physics II)?
  • How many semester hours do I need to complete the semester I’m away in order to graduate on time?
  • Do I have room to take any courses to serve just as hours toward graduation the semester I’m away?
  • How much flexibility do I have with my course selection?
  • If a semester away requires me to shift my graduation plan, what options should I consider (e.g. summer classes, overload, etc.)?
  • How many semester hours do I have to complete while abroad in order to graduate on time?
