How does it work?
Unlike an exchange, participating in an Independent Study Away means that you apply, and pay tuition,Ìýto your host university independently as a visiting student.Ìý This programÌýis an opportunityÌýto go abroad to a destination not covered by Â鶹AV's alreadyÌýexisting global learning opportunities.ÌýIf applicable, youÌýmay apply through your faculty to transfer credits earned during your Independent Study Away back to Â鶹AV.
Ìý
When can I go?
You can complete an Independent Study Away during a regular academic term, or during the summer!Ìý Â鶹AV Abroad compiles various Summer and Winter programs that are available abroad on our Partner Opportunities Abroad page that are an opportunity to study abroad in a recognized out-of-semester program.Ìý Make sure to compare your host university's term dates to Â鶹AV's, as academic terms vary greatly across regions.

How can I get started?
As Independent Study Away is a unique opportunity that exists separately from Â鶹AV's exchange program, you are responsible for driving your experience. This means that you will independently research, apply to your host university, and will take care of any additional requirements needed for your trip.ÌýEach faculty and school has its own policies and procedures regarding independent study away.
