Meet With an Advisor

All IU study abroad students must attend an Education Abroad Info Session to understand the basics of study abroad: how to research program options, costs, financial aid and scholarships, and how (and when) to apply to a program.

Spring 2024 (through Finals Week), these sessions are held at 10am and 2pm on:

  • Monday and Friday via Zoom
  • Tuesday through Thursday at the Ferguson International Center (330 N Eagleson)
  • No sessions held on Wednesday mornings

Summer 2024 (May 6-August 2), these sessions are held at 2pm weekdays via Zoom.

Visit One.IU  to access the Student Appointment Scheduler and then search “Info Session” to see Chelsea Jones' calendar and to sign up. Students only need to attend this session once.

Students seeking guidance about whether they can study abroad with their particular major(s) should first meet with their academic advisor(s) to understand their remaining degree requirements. Then, students should meet with a program-specific education abroad advisor.

Once a student has attended a First Steps Info Session and is ready to explore a specific program, students can meet with an education abroad advisor for a 1:1 appointment. These appointments are for program-specific questions. Note: first-time inquiries or general advising questions are handled through the Info Sessions and will be referred there.

Visit One.IU to access the Student Appointment Scheduler and then search for the relevant advisor. Click on the advisor’s name below to see their advising portfolios.

Students also can contact their School-or College-based study abroad office for unit-based program options:

IUB students may participate in a non-IU program by following Education Abroad’s non-IU procedures.

All IUB students must review these procedures before Education Abroad will sign any program approval forms or grant authorization to enroll in an OVST placeholder course.

Non-IU Program Info Sessions are held Fridays at 1pm via Zoom. Visit One.IU to access the Student Appointment Scheduler and then search “Non-IU Info Session” to see Michele Stebbins’ calendar and to sign up.

Students from IUPUI or a regional campus must speak with their campus coordinator about their campus’ non-IU program policies.
