Can I Still Apply for 2025-2026?

Yes! You may still be able to apply for Spring 2026 affiliated programs. These programs typically run from January through May (although that varies by program), so students would need to miss both Winter and Spring Terms on campus. Program applications are usually due in September or October, and you would need to apply to study off-campus through our office no later than one month before the program application is due. If you have any questions, please contact us.
