| Enrollment Purposes | Students studying abroad for a semester are required to be enrolled in at least the equivalent of 12 or more Appalachian credit hours to maintain full-time status. Students will also need to follow the minimum full-time enrollment requirement for their host university / program, which in many cases might be more than 12 credits. |
| Financial Aid | Students should speak to their financial aid counselor in the Office of Financial Aid to see if they are eligible for financial aid. |
| Research | It's critical students research the country / city / institution they're thinking about studying abroad in so they're not surprised when they get there. The main goal is they have an enjoyable and comfortable experience while studying in a different location. |
| Scholarship | Students can apply for various scholarships from The Office of International Education and Development |
The Office of International Education and Development conducts in-person and online Study Abroad 101 Workshops for students planning to study abroad.
