Study Abroad Deadlines for IU Students
To maximize your study abroad opportunities, it’s best to start planning as early as possible.

Application deadlines are program-specific and are determined shortly before applications open; however, generally deadlines are as follows:
- Summer programs: mid-January to early-February
- Fall programs: late-January to late-March
- Academic year programs: mid-January to early-February
- Spring programs: late-August to late-September
