Page 21 - 2019-2020 Augustana Study Away Catalog

The semester application process involves several steps, all of
which are important if you wish to join one of the approved SEMESTER
programs found in this catalog. If you are interested in a
program which is not found in this catalog, please meet with the APPLICATION
Director of International Programs to discuss how to enroll and
transfer credit. For all approved programs (those found PROCESS
in the following pages) the process is as follows:
IN DETAIL

STEP 1 AUGUSTANA APPLICATION

• Use this catalog and the links to program websites to select the best
program for you.

• Apply for Augustana approval and financial aid use by completing the Augustana application found at
http://augustana.studioabroad.com. Detailed step-by-step instructions on how to complete the Studio Abroad
application are available at www.augustana.edu/studyaway or at the IOP Office within CORE in Olin Hall.

• Make the nonrefundable application fee at the Business Office or online at www.augustana.edu/study-away-
deposit. If you are applying during the Primary App Period the deposit will be $100, if applying during the
Extended App Period, the deposit is $300 (with $100 nonrefundable).

• Await your email acceptance notification before moving on to Step Two.

STEP 2 PARTNER APPLICATION

• Your acceptance letter from Augustana will include some “next steps” , including online forms and other
requirements. Augustana will notify the partner organization or university for the program you have chosen
that you have been approved by Augustana for their program..

• You will now need to apply on the website for the partner program. Use the web link found on the program’s
page in this catalog or on the Augustana Study Away website. Be sure to apply to the correct program at the
partner organization, as each organization offers many programs not included on the Augustana endorsed
program list, and you have been approved only for the program found on the list. If you have difficulty finding
the program on the provider’s website, contact the IOP Office for assistance.

• You should NOT send in a deposit with your application. Augustana will handle all deposits and payments for
you. You are only responsible for making the appropriate payments to Augustana for the semester of your
program. You will be billed for this semester as you normally are for on-campus semesters.

STEP 3 CONFIRMATION & PREDEPARTURE

• When you receive your acceptance from the partner organization or university, you should upload the
acceptance letter (or email) into your Studio Abroad account. This will be one of the required documents
needed in order to confirm your participation in the program.

• Following this, you should complete all required Augustana documents in your Studio Abroad account as well
as all documents (for acceptance and for visa processes) required by the partner organization. There will be
some redundancy between Augustana’s requirements and the partner’s. This is normal. You will also be
required to attend predeparture meetings on campus the semester prior to your departure.
