Education Abroad Application Instructions September 24th Applicants for Spring semester abroad February 22nd Applicants for Fall semester abroad Even
before you are ready
to study abroad, it is beneficial to create an education abroad account
so you can communicate with education abroad peer advisors, be invited
to information sessions and presentations, and make the Education Abroad Office aware of your interest in studying abroad. Please use your Pacific email address to create your account. Once you create an account, you will be able to ask questions about program details and apply for a program. 2. Choose an education abroad program.
You can search for a program by location and/or by your field of study. The clickable world map will show you all of the Pacific-approved
programs in a specific continent and country. The Advanced Search tool
on the left menu allows you to search for programs by additional
factors, such as your major. If
you would like to meet with someone for assistance in selecting a
program, stop by and visit us in the Bechtel International Center, or
contact one of our Peer Advisors to schedule a meeting. When you are ready to apply to a specific program, click Apply for that program. Common mistakes to avoid: All uploaded documents should be uploaded in landscape view so that the document opens right side up. Documents should be clear, legible and an appropriate size so that they are easy to read when opened. This means handwriting needs to be clear and ink needs to be dark. Please check your documents after uploading them. Once
you have completed your Application Forms, the system will
automatically notify IPS by email so that your forms can be reviewed. If
your forms are approved by IPS, the system will
notify you by email that you have been Approved by University of the
Pacific, and you will then be able to see the Enrollment Form link in
your account, under Online Forms. If the information in your forms is
found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or cause for concern, IPS will
contact you and you will need to resolve any issues and complete your
forms properly by the above application deadlines. Normal processing times for IPS review of Application Forms is 1-3 business days. During peak periods, such as the month before IPS deadlines, processing times are generally 4-6 business days. It is highly recommended that you complete your Applications Forms at least two weeks before the above deadlines in case there are issues you need to resolve regarding the completion of your forms. In
the My Applications area of your account, under Program Name, click on
the link for your particular program. This will take you to the
program's web site where you will find instructions to apply to your
program. You should apply directly to your program and contact the
program provider with any questions regarding its application process,
course offerings, etc. Program application deadlines vary and some
programs allow you to apply online, while others require hard copy
applications. If you are unable to locate instructions for your
program's application, please email ips@pacific.edu for assistance. If your program's application requires any of the following items or information from Pacific, please contact the appropriate person or department as listed below:
All Enrollment Forms must be complete before you are provided the override to register for your first semester abroad. To access the Enrollment Forms, log in
to your account and click on Enrollment Form, under Online Forms. Note
that you will not be able to see the Enrollment Forms in your account
until your Application Forms have been reviewed and approved by
IPS (International Programs & Services). *Note:
Although the system automatically sends you an email saying your status
has been updated to Enrollment Forms Complete, your Enrollment Forms
are not considered complete until they have been verified as such by
IPS. Such verification will arrive to you in an email from IPS
explicitly stating that you have been provided the override for the SABD
course. Once
you have completed your Enrollment Forms, the system will
automatically notify IPS by email so that your forms can be reviewed. If
your forms are approved by IPS, IPS will
notify you by email that you have been provided the override for the SABD course. At
that point, you will be able to enroll in the SABD 000-01 placeholder
course for your (first) semester abroad. If the information in your
forms is found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or cause for concern, IPS
will contact you and you will need to resolve any issues and complete
your forms properly before you are granted the override to enroll in the
SABD 000-01 course. Normal
processing times for IPS review of Enrollment Forms is 3-5 business
days. If you have received email notification from IPS explicitly stating that you have been provided the override for the SABD course and you experience issues with SABD 000-01 enrollment, please contact the Registrar to ensure there are no holds on your account. 6. Enter your Contact While Abroad information in your account profile as soon as you have it. |
