Submitting an Intent to Study Abroad is a mandatory step for participation in an education abroad program. The deadline is November 1, 2023, to go abroad in the 2024–2025 academic year. Registration of intent is non-binding; however, failure to register by this deadline will make you ineligible to apply and for further consideration. Registering your intent excludes you from the on-campus housing lottery for that academic year. If you have questions about the housing application process, contact the Office of Residential Life and Learning.
