Most approved study abroad programs are listed in Via. Sewanee students use their Banner ID to login to the platform. Once logged in, they create their Via profile and can then review programs and complete necessary study abroad paperwork.
The Learning Objectives Application is found in Via, and it is an important document that helps students (1) declare their intent to study abroad and (2) think through their individual goals and objectives for studying abroad. To find the application, you will go to Via, select "Programs," and in the search field, type "Learning Objectives."
Students should begin their form, but watch the 101 video and meet with their major advisor(s) prior to submitting.
Once you begin the Learning Objectives Application, a form with the Study Abroad 101 Information Session will be added to your application. Please watch the video and submit the Study Abroad 101 Video form.
Agreement will be sent through Adobe Sign and will be password protected. Students should read it carefully before initialing, signing, and submitting.
Students must meet with their major advisor(s) before applying for study away, even if they plan to take elective or minor credit while away. Students should discuss their learning objectives for study abroad during this meeting. If a student has two majors, they should meet with both advisors. After meeting with their advisor(s), the student should submit their Learning Objectives Application in Via.
There are three study abroad advisors in the Office of Global Citizenship, and they advise students according to the type of credit they want to take while abroad (major and/or minor credit). Please find the advisor assigned to your major (or minor, if you intend to take minor credit). It is the student's responsibility to contact their study abroad advisor and arrange a meeting. Alongside your study abroad advisor, you will choose a list of programs that best fit your learning objectives from our Approved Programs List.
Students are now ready to apply to their program! Deadlines range, so students should stay informed of the deadlines for various programs. Students typically only need to apply to one study abroad program, unless their study abroad advisor recommends applying to more than one.
Many study abroad providers and governmental/educational organizations offer study abroad scholarships. Opportunities are also listed on our website. Scholarship deadlines range, so students should be proactive with the application process.
Global Citizenship and Study Abroad (GLBL 101) is a one credit course that prepares students for study abroad. The course meets during the last seven weeks of each fall and spring semester.
Before going abroad, students are required to attend a pre-departure orientation. Orientations are held during early December (for spring study abroad students) and late April (for summer/fall study abroad students).
