Spring/Summer and Summer Faculty-Led Programs
Final Application Deadline: February 10, 2012
Don't let the application process intimidate you. It's very easy! The only materials (3 total) that need to be turned into room 112 of the Study Abroad Office are highlighted below. The rest of the application can be completed online!
Required materials:
*Signature Verification Form (downloadable from your online application)
*Official Illinois transcript (escrips are accepted for SAO-sponsored faculty-led courses abroad). Please send escrips to sao@illinois.edu.
*Photocopy of passport or receipt as proof of purchase or renewal. If you submit a receipt as proof of purchase or renewal of your passport then we will not be able to check off the photocopy of your passport, but if all other pieces of your application are complete then we will consider your application complete. The reason we will not check off the photocopy of your passport if you submitted a receipt is because we still want to have a way to track who has not yet turned in a copy of their passport, and then we are able to send you reminders to turn it in once you do receive it.
Short-term, faculty-led courses abroad are designed to maximize student learning opportunities and to make every moment count. According to research conducted by the University of Delaware's Center for International Studies (IIE Networker, spring 2004), students who have spent even two or three weeks studying in another country report a greater understanding and appreciation of other cultures and customs, a heightened awareness of their country's identity and place on the world stage, and a better idea of what is required to be a "global citizen."
