Attend Individual Advising
If you have chosen to study on a Maryland-sponsored short term program, or on the Maryland semester programs to London, Alcalá, Nice or Berlin, you may apply directly to your program of choice following the instructions on the specific program´s website. You do not need to schedule an Individual Advising appointment.
If you are considering other program options, once you have the three options that interest you most, contact the Study Abroad Advisor assigned to your geographic region of interest to schedule an individual advising appointment.
During Individual Advising, you will discuss the program options you have selected and determine the best fit for you. At this point, the Study Abroad Advisor will also verify that Maryland can accept transfer credit from your chosen program.
We will also use this meeting to remind you of your next steps.
