Important considerations

If you are participating in a Faculty-led Program: Generally, you can participate in these programs and still graduate on schedule. However, you need to communicate your graduation plans with the program director to ensure timely grade reporting.

If you are participating in an Exchange, Departmental, Direct Enrollment or Partner Program: it is not always recommended to study abroad in your final term. You should speak with a study abroad adviser to discuss your plans.

• Transcript timing: Some universities may release transcripts a few months after the program ends. If you are in an exchange program, check the transcript release timing with your host institution.
• Graduation delay: if your foreign transcript arrives too late to meet the registrar鈥檚 deadline, you might need to delay your graduation by a quarter.
• Graduate school considerations: if you plan to start graduate school immediately after graduating, be aware that your undergraduate degree might not be awarded by your graduate school鈥檚 deadline due to the time needed for transcript processing and credit conversion.
• Credit conversion: you cannot graduate with the study abroad placeholder course, FSTDY, on your transcript. Ensure you understand the credit conversion process as you are preparing to study abroad.

It’s very important to carefully plan and communicate with your advisers and program directors to ensure everything aligns with your graduation timeline.

Competitiveness varies a lot between individual programs and program types and is difficult to predict. Students can apply to up to 3 programs within a given term and most students will get into one of these programs. Please note that application questions are often similar, if not entirely the same, so students can often make adjustments to essays and can use the same recommender across applications. If you would like an already submitted recommendation survey copied to multiple applications, please contact studyabroad@uw.edu.

Students applying to a Faculty-led Program should apply to more than one program so that they have a back-up plan.

For exchanges, students will fill out one application and within the application will list the top three exchange universities they are interested in attending.

Competitiveness for 91爆料 Partner Programs is more nuanced. Please email studyabroad@uw.edu or schedule a Program-Specific Advising appointment.

Yes, you can apply to multiple programs.
However, you are limited to a maximum of three program applications in a single academic term. Spring Break, Summer-A, Summer-B, and Early Fall are all considered a single academic term. For example, you may apply to three Early Fall programs and three autumn quarter programs, as Early Fall and autumn quarter are separate terms, even though credits from Early Fall programs will be counted toward autumn quarter. You may also apply to three programs for the Summer-A term and three programs for the Summer-B term, or three programs for Summer-A (or Summer-B) and three programs for the summer quarter.

Additionally, we recommend that students apply to one 91爆料 Partner Program at a time. If you are not accepted, you can work with the provider to identify a second option. Please email studyabroad@uw.edu if you are considering applying to multiple 91爆料 Partner Programs.

• A request to the recommender can be sent within your online study abroad application.
• The request must be sent by the application deadline, but聽the general recommendation itself does not have a strict deadline.

If you wish to apply for a program after the deadline, you should contact the 91爆料 study abroad adviser responsible for that program or exchange.
