At what point in my career can I have an exchange experience abroad?

In order to study abroad, an undergraduate or graduate student must have completed at least 25% of his/her academic curriculum. The student must initiate the application process through the university’s Department of International Affairs six months in advance of his/her desired departure date.

An average of 7 points on final evaluations is required. Any grades obtained outside of UCES are not figured into the calculation of this average. If a student’s personnel file contains disciplinary action, he/she is ineligible for study abroad programs.
