Study Abroad Process
All Clark Atlanta University
students who desire to study abroad must undergo an internal
review and be cleared by the Study Abroad Office. The Director
of Study Abroad is the only person on campus authorized to register
a student for Study Abroad. Students will never be able to register
themselves for Study Abroad through the Banner System, therefore,
please follow the process outlined below:
I. Student must submit the
following to the Study Abroad Office (SAO) in order to initiate
the internal review process:
- Study Abroad Application
- Two academic recommendations
- A current unofficial transcript
(can be obtained from Bannerweb)
- Two passport-sized photos
(one for records and one for public relations)
- A copy of financial aid award
letter (can be obtained from Bannerweb)
Once all information has been submitted and reviewed, the student
is informed as to whether he/she has satisfactorily met all of
the criteria to study abroad—a 2.5 GPA or better, and in
good social standing at CAU. Successful candidates are given
authorization to begin the search for a program. This is done
in concert with the Study Abroad advisor to ensure that students
are considering programs that will provide courses for which
they will receive academic credit at CAU.
II. Student must do the following
in order to apply to a program:
- Obtain and fill out the application
(will be reviewed by SA advisor)
- Obtain course approval from
the department chair
- Obtain proper signatures for
the application
- Apply for scholarships, if
eligible (will be reviewed by SA advisor)
- Send the application to the
sponsoring program in a timely fashion (at student’s expense)
- Download and fill out a complete
budget for the program to which he/she has applied
III. Once student has been accepted to the program, he/she is
responsible for the following:
- Making arrangements for housing
for the semester he/she will return
- Making arrangements to meet
the financial obligations of the program
IV. The director of Study Abroad will handle the following on
behalf of the student while he/she is abroad:
- Register him/her for the semester
he/she is abroad. Registration for the succeeding semester will
be done by the student in concert with his academic advisor.
