Apply and/or Register

  • Every study abroad program requires an application AND registration (faculty-led excluded). Registration means you will have a My Study Abroad account with access to the mandatory VT forms.

  • Without registration the Registrar will not accept your transcript from abroad. You also jeopardize the release of your financial aid. 

  • VT applications open up usually a semester before the study abroad term. If it mentions “this program is not currently accepting applications”, then the program has not opened up yet. You can check with the person listed under contact information to see if a program will actually be running.
