Students will be required to complete three applications:

2. An ISEP application.
3. And a partner university application.

These quick steps below will help walk you through the process.

First, start an Education Abroad Application

• Students must also complete an international �������� State application to participate in an ISEP program.
• You can begin your OGE application by clicking the “Apply Now” button.
• Your Education Abroad application will be accepted upon ISEP placement (see below).
• Please note that acceptance to the program by �������� does not serve as final approval. ISEP and the host institution grant final approval for each applicant.

Then, start an ISEP Application

• Students must create an ISEP account with their �������� State email. From there, you are required to submit one single application through the  for your program(s) of interest. Please follow the application instructions on the ISEP website.
• Review the  guide to better understand the ISEP Exchange application and placement process.

Next, wait for ISEP Placement

Once the ISEP application deadline has passed, students will be placed at one of their program(s) of interest. Each year, ISEP begins reviewing applications following their priority application deadlines on September 15 and March 1.

ISEP Exchange

For ISEP Exchange applicants, ISEP makes placement decisions based on exchange space available at each host institution and academic fit for the student.

Exchange applicants can expect to receive their placement notification within 2-4 weeks of the priority deadline.

ISEP Direct

For ISEP Direct applicants, there is no limit to the number of program spaces available, so chances of placement are excellent provided you meet the program requirements.

Direct applicants can expect to receive their placement notification within 1-2 weeks of submission, following the priority deadline.

Finally, complete the Host University Application

• Once ISEP has placed you in a program, you will receive instructions directly from ISEP about completing an application for the host university.
• Please note your final acceptance into the program is contingent on official acceptance from the host institution.
• Confirmation of placement usually takes 3-4 weeks while the host institution reviews your application.

Transfer Credits

With this program, students enroll in courses at a partner (host) institution. You will need to transfer the credits you earn abroad back to ��������.

Upon successful completion of the program, the host institution will issue you an official transcript, which will be needed for the credit transfer process.

You must earn passing grades on the courses you take abroad for the credits to transfer. 

Prior to departure, students will meet with their academic advisor to complete a Transfer Course Planning (TCP) Form, which will outline the courses you plan to take while abroad and how the courses will transfer to ��������. 

Some courses have already been pre-approved for transfer to �������� State and can be viewed on the Transfer Credit Guide. Please note that this is only a guide and is NOT a comprehensive list of courses available at each partner institution.

Credit Approval

Prior to departure, it is your responsibility to meet with your academic advisor to discuss the courses you plan to take while abroad.

If a course needs to be evaluated for transfer, you are responsible for working with your education abroad advisor to obtain the syllabus and have it reviewed by �������� State faculty.
