IMPORTANT NOTES:

Application Process
There is a dual application process for this program. (1) Students must apply to for permission to study abroad on this program; you can do this by clicking the "Apply Now" button. At the same time, (2) students apply directly to the program for admission. The program application can be accessed on the program website. Please pay close attention to both the IWU and program deadlines, as they may be different.

Tuition Cost
IWU has a home-school tuition policy, which means that students studying abroad will be billed the regular IWU tuition—unless the study abroad tuition is higher, in which case the student pays that higher cost. Unless otherwise noted, IWU does not charge room and board for studying abroad; instead, students pay those costs to the program provider.
