Narrow down your program options.
Speak to a walk-in advisor at the Learning Abroad Center or attend program-specific focus sessions to learn more about programs of interest to you.

Explore reasonable accomodations.
After identifying one or more programs of specific interest, meet with your Disability Specialist to complete the Student Accommodation Request Form (download PDF) . You or your Disability Specialist should then contact the Learning Abroad Center (612.626.9000) to identify the appropriate Program Adviser to receive your completed Student Accommodation Request Form and investigate accommodation possibilities.

Decide on a study abroad program.
Based on the information you receive from the Learning Abroad Center regarding accomodation possibilities, identify a preferred study abroad program. Apply to the selected program. For most programs, applications are reviewed on a rolling admissions basis.

Apply for scholarships and travel grants.
Access Abroad scholarships are available for May term, summer, semester and year long programs.

Confirm your program accommodations.
Confirm with the Program Adviser in the Learning Abroad Center the accommodations that are provided overseas. Consult with your Disability Services Specialist and the Learning Abroad Center Program Adviser about any questions you may have about these accommodations.

Prepare for departure.
Continue with pre-departure planning, after your requested accommodations are confirmed. Attend a program specific orientation session and complete required Learning Abroad Center acceptance materials.
