The following instructions apply to all UNCA-approved study abroad programs except the Oxford, Ecuador, Greece, Cambridge and Dijon programs, for which students will follow regular registration procedures: Before participating in a study abroad program, a student must complete a Permission to Study Abroad form. This form is available from the Director of International Programs, Coordinator of Study Abroad Programs or the Registrar. Permission must be obtained from the student's advisor and major department, the Foreign Languages Department (if foreign language courses are to be taken), Coordinator of Study Abroad and the Registrar. The study abroad program must be approved by UNCA and must meet accreditation guidelines. At the completion of the study abroad program, it is the student's responsibility to see that an official transcript is mailed directly to the UNCA Registrar's Office. There is a $100 administrative fee for all students participating in a UNCA-sponsored semester or yearlong study abroad program.
