After meeting with your study abroad advisor and selecting a program, your advisor will guide you through the application process. Please note that application instructions, forms, and materials are not available online; you must meet with an advisor. The following materials must be returned to the Study Abroad Office by March 1 (if you want to study abroad in the fall semester) or October 1 (if you want to study abroad in the spring semester):
- SNC Study Abroad Application
- Essay (either from the SNC Study Abroad Application or for your specific program)
- SNC Study Abroad Course Approval Form
- 2 faculty recommendations
- St. Norbert College transcript (requested via KnightLine)
- Copy of the title page of your passport (scanned copy or hard copy)
- Campus Card Services photos (the number of copies will vary)
- Pre-Departure Survey (Fall 2012 students only)
Please note that the application portfolio for each program varies. Additional application materials may include:
- Transcript(s) from previous college(s)/university(ies) attended
- Program-specific application
- Housing application
- Scholarship application
Once you have submitted your application materials, we encourage you to begin learning more about your study abroad destination.
| Step 6: |
Application Review |
The Study Abroad Office will review your application to determine your eligibility to study abroad as a St. Norbert student. If you meet the St. Norbert requirements, your application will be forwarded to your study abroad program, which has the final decision on your acceptance.
The Study Abroad Office (and sometimes your study abroad program) will contact you once you have been accepted.

Pre-Departure Orientation & Logistics
|
Pre-Departure Orientation
To prepare you for your experiences abroad, all students are required to attend a mandatory pre-departure orientation. Refer to the Events page for specific details. Items discussed include: academic requirements; health, safety, and security policies; logistical arrangements, such as packing and travel tips; country- and program-specific information; and any questions, worries, and/or concerns that students have. You will also have the opportunity to speak with St. Norbert study abroad returnees, who will offer practical tips for your semester(s) abroad.
On-Campus (SNC) Housing
Housing issues should not deter you from studying abroad. In order to eliminate any confusion regarding continuing student housing, a representative from the Department of Residential Education and Housing (REH) will meet with study abroad students to discuss housing logistics. For more information, please visit the REH web site.
Students planning to study abroad during the spring semester must take the following steps. All forms can be found online.
- Complete the Request for Housing Requirement Release Form;
- Complete the Housing Preference Form online; and
- Have your Spokesperson complete the Spokesperson Confirmation Form
Students studying in the fall must also complete the above forms online. You have three options for spring housing:
- You may make arrangements with a student studying abroad the opposite semester (the following spring) to take his/her place in college housing.
- Three apartments in Vander Zanden Hall have been reserved for study abroad students. The apartments are assigned by semester only. You may fill out a Vander Zanden application in groups of two or four for each semester. The lowest lottery number for complete groups of four will be assigned first. Students must move out at the end of the fall semester for students returning to St. Norbert in the spring semester.
- REH will assist you in finding a placement for the spring semester.
Please contact REH with any questions or concerns.
