Application Procedure

The online application you submit in November is your application for permission to apply to one of our host institutions abroad. We will be working with you throughout the fall and into February and March to ensure that you find the best program to meet your academic, co- and extra-curricular goals. Early in the spring semester you will be notified if you have been accepted by a Holy Cross Study Abroad director to study abroad for the fall or academic year term. For the following spring term abroad, you will be notified a bit later in the semester.  Upon acceptance by Study Abroad, we will notify you when it's time to begin the application to your host institution as well as other preparations for going abroad will provide you with application instructions for your host institution.

Don't forget to consult the Steps to Studying Abroad before beginning your application. It lists all the steps you need to take before starting the online application.

Apply online now to start your study abroad application.
