Preparing to depart for your study abroad program
You will need to complete various tasks during each application stage.
Click the name of each application stage below to read about the tasks you will need to complete during that specific application stage and the estimated timeframe for completing each task.
Please note that you may need to complete additional tasks for your specific program during the admission and pre-departure application stage. Your Program Advisor will let you know if and when you need to complete additional tasks during the admission and pre-departure application stage that are not outlined below.
- Pre-Admission Stage
What can you expect during the pre-admission stage?
Work on Your Arcadia Abroad Checklist Items (~October - March)
Complete Your Arcadia Abroad Application (~January - March)
All summer program applicants need to submit an official transcript with their final fall grades. If you upload an unofficial transcript before your final fall grades are issued at your home university, your official transcript checklist item will be marked as incomplete and you will be asked to upload an official transcript later. We cannot issue an admission decision or submit your Arcadia Abroad application to your host institution overseas until we have an official transcript with your final fall grades.
2. In Review Stage
2. In Review Stage
What can you expect during the in review stage?
Wait for Your Acceptance (~January - March)
Your Program Advisor will review your Arcadia Abroad application within 1 - 2 weeks of you completing your Arcadia Abroad checklist items.
If you need to make revisions to your Arcadia Abroad checklist items, your Program Advisor will reach out to you directly (via email).
If you do not need to make revisions to your Arcadia Abroad checklist items, your Program Advisor will either issue an admission decision or submit your application to your host institution overseas for final review and admission to your program.
The summer programs that require your application to be sent to your host institution for final review and admission to your program are:
Lady Margaret Hall (LMH) Oxford Summer
University of Limerick Summer Program
University of Stirling Summer Program
Once your application is reviewed and approved by your host institution overseas (usually within 2 - 4 weeks), you will be notified of your admission decision by your Program Advisor.
