Update on Individual Student Travel for Credit or Clinical Hours:

For students traveling outside of the US:  Any student seeking an opportunity to participate in an international experience related to academic coursework or clinical hours must complete the “Student Preliminary Application for Individual Travel” at least three months prior to travel and submit it to the Study Abroad Office. In order for the student’s travel and work abroad to be approved, this paperwork must be completed before the student travels.  For more information, click here.
