Study Abroad Deadlines for ASU Students

To maximize your study abroad opportunities, it’s best to start planning as early as possible. The Global Education Office outlines some helpful planning tips, including applying for a passport, working closely with your academic advisor(s) and study abroad advisor(s), talking with returning students, and researching financial considerations.

Application deadlines are program-specific and are determined shortly before applications open; however, generally deadlines are as follows:

  • Summer/Fall/Academic Year/Pre-Fall Global Intensive Experience programs: Applications typically open in late fall of the previous year, and the deadline to apply is March 1
  • Spring Break/Post-Spring Global Intensive Experience programs: Applications typically open in early fall of the previous year, and the deadline to apply is November 15
  • Spring/Calendar Year/Winter Break & Pre-Spring Global Intensive Experience programs: Applications typically open in late spring of the previous year, and the deadline to apply is September 25
