Campus Visitors 

Throughout the semester, representatives from various off-campus studies programs will be visiting campus.  These visits will give you the opportunity to ask the program representative any questions you may have about a particular program options.  For a complete schedule of visitors, watch for emails through out the semester.  

Check back often for more complete information. 

Summer General Advising Sessions

For students interested in studying off-campus (abroad or in the U.S.) during the Summer 2008 term,  it is strongly suggested that you attend one of the general advising sessions.  All sessions will cover the basic information you need to know about studying off-campus during the summer.  Please note that this process differs from the semester off-campus study process.  We strongly recommend that you attend one of the sessions before you set up a meeting with an advisor in the Office of International Education.
