Would you mind sharing the information below with any of your students who may be interested in studying abroad for Summer 2015, Fall 2015, or AY 2015-16? We've changed the process a little and want to get the word out.

Thanks!

*******************************
If any one is planning to study abroad (specifically, taking classes at an international institution, either direct enroll or through a provider) for Summer 2015, Fall 2015, or AY 2015-16, the deadline to confirm your study abroad plans with Global Education is coming up soon. The deadline is earlier this year and we have updated the process for getting approved for study abroad. Please read below for a full description of the process. Once we have you on our approval list, we will be able to share the next steps and details about upcoming events.

To confirm your plans, and get on the list of students approved to study abroad, you'll need to submit a form through MIT-Horizons by April 1.

To get started, please visit MIT-Horizons (https://mit-horizons.symplicity.com/) and log in. If this is your first visit to MIT-Horizons, you will need to request that your password be re-set. Once you have logged in, go to the "Search Programs" tab and and find the program titled "Study Abroad Inquiry". Click on the "Apply" button next to the term that you are studying abroad. Next, you'll complete the "Program Information" section on that application, and email studyabroad at mit.edu<mailto:studyabroad at mit.edu> once you've finished.

Finally, you'll need to upload the Study Abroad Worksheet to MIT-Horizons by May 1 (same deadline as before). Once we've confirmed receipt of your initial inquiry form, you will be able to upload the Study Abroad Worksheet (attached here) into Horizons.

NOTE: If you applied for your study abroad program through MIT-Horizons (i.e., it's an MIT-managed program), you do not need to submit the inquiry form. You can submit the worksheet directly to studyabroad at mit.edu<mailto:studyabroad at mit.edu>, based on instructions for your particular program.

TL;DR:
April 1: Deadline to submit the "Study Abroad Inquiry" form on MIT-Horizons
May 1: Deadline to upload the "Study Abroad Worksheet"

Thanks!
