Apply to Study Abroad

Once you have chosen your top program based on your academic goal, confirmed eligibility and reviewed courses abroad, you are ready to apply! 

The application is online, free and just takes a little bit of your time. 

Begin by creating an account in the Study Abroad Database. Top right corner, click on Sign In/Sign Up. It is recommended that you use the 'Go to Portal' button. This will direct you to log in using your SFSU credentials. If you do not have an SFSU ID number, then use the 'Sign Up' at the bottom. Please be consistent with which way you access the portal each time you login.  

Once logged in, find your program again using the subject area or keywords search. On the program page, click 'Apply' at the top right corner of the page. 

Begin filling out one application on the Study Abroad Database only. Enter basic information, e.g. name, date of birth, contact details, etc.

For now, no news is good news! If we need anything further, a study abroad advisor will follow up with you via email before sending your application to the selection committee. Notifications will be sent via email on a rolling basis.  

Should I submit early? Yes, this will give the study abroad team more time to look over your application and follow up with you if needed before sending it to the selection committee. The selection committee will review all applications for the program together regardless.
