Application Forms 

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.
