Application Forms 

1. CHECS Disciplinary Clearance Form: The Study Abroad Office requires that you disclose prior incidents on record with the CHECS office. Having a prior or pending violation does not eliminate your eligibility, however, the infraction(s) may be factored into the selection process. No student can study abroad while suspended and many programs do not accept students who will still be on probation during the study abroad. 

2. CNU Application Details: CNU faculty leaders will ask you to answer specific questions as a part of the application process.
