Your study abroad application must be complete BY THE APPLICATION DEADLINE
in order to be considered for the study abroad grant.

Your FAFSA must be filed at least two weeks prior to the study abroad application deadline in order to be considered for the study abroad grant.

How do I apply to study abroad on a UW Oshkosh-sponsored program?

Attend an information meeting (optional).
Write the Study Abroad Orientation dates in your calendar. All participants must attend from beginning to end. Inability or failure to attend orientations may affect your participation. Approximately 95% of our participants bring one or more family members, though family participation is optional.
Complete the study abroad application.
Complete the Summer Financial Aid Applicationon-line (if applicable).
Complete any application materials specific to your program (if applicable).
Pay the application fee per the instructions in your application packet.

Turn in your receipt with your study abroad application. If you have mailed the application fee to the Cashier's Office, note this on your application. OIE staff will contact the Cashier's Office for a receipt.
   
For most programs, the fee is $100 for in-state residents and $200 for out-of-state residents; this is the only residency fee differential
   
For HESSEN: pay $50 at the cashier's window; pay the remaining $50 by check made out to "UW-Milwaukee"; turn this in with your application.

For Spanish Language & Culture in Guanajuato, Mexico: our partner, ISA charges an additional $100 in application fees to all students who apply after the application deadline. If you apply after the deadline, you will be required to pay a $200 application fee.

For UW-Platteville: in addition to the $100 application fee paid to the UW Oshkosh Cashier's Office, submit a check for $25 made out to UW-Platteville. Out-of-state residents DO NOT pay the $200 out-of-state fee; out-of-state fees will be assessed according to UW-Platteville policies.
   
For Wisconsin in Scotland: in addition to the $100 application fee paid to the UW Oshkosh Cashier's Office, submit a check for $275 made out to "WIS" and a second check for $50 made out to "University of Wisconsin River Falls."

Print a copy of your university transcript.

The unofficial copy from TitanWeb is fine unless otherwise noted on the web page for your program. Highlight course prerequisites (if applicable) and final GPA.
You may also be required to complete one or more of the following (details below):

a credit overload form;

a Graduate Registration Form;

a Special Student Form for Undergraduate Admissions.
Return your completed application and all accompanying documents to:

Office of International Education (Dempsey 146), UW Oshkosh, 800 Algoma Blvd., Oshkosh, WI 54901.

What if course enrollment through a study abroad program causes me to exceed the maximum credit limit for a semester?

Students who will have a credit overload during the semester they plan to study abroad will need to complete a credit overload form. Credit overload forms are available from the registration office and must be returned with the study abroad application.

Students who have completed the credit overload form and have been approved will receive a confirmation in the mail. If your credit overload form is not approved, please direct questions to:

  • College of Letters & Science: Karen Bowen
  • College of Nursing: Dawn Arnold
  • College of Business Administration: Cindy Fruhwirth
  • College of Education & Human Services: Bryan Bain
