Once you have been accepted to participate in the Brock Short-Term Study Abroad Program you will need to complete an application for the host school/program at which you have been nominated. When you receive information about this application (either from Brock or the host school/program), please read the directions carefully. Some applications require students to supply supplemental documentation, such as reference letters, photos, statements of purpose, etc. Many host applications will require you to order an official Brock University transcript. You must complete the host application by the deadline set by the host.

Transcripts

If your host school requires you to submit an official transcript, you can purchase an official copy of your transcript from Brock Central. This can be ordered directly from your Student Self-Serve portal (my.brocku.ca). Please note that it can take some time to receive your transcript. You can arrange to pick up the transcript at Brock Central.

All participating students must attend the Pre-departure training workshops. These workshops will help prepare you for your International Mobility Program, and the workshops will answer many of your questions.

You will be added to a Sakai site called “international Pre-departure” after your acceptance into the mobility program, It is your responsibility to check the Sakai site and complete all of the component before you depart. Failure to complete all required pre-departure will result in the cancellation of your participation in the international mobility program.

Before leaving for your Study Abroad Program, you must have your courses assessed by the academic advisors/departments at Brock. Each course must be approved individually. When you meet with the academic advisor/department, please bring as much information as you can find about the particular course you wish to take. This will allow the advisor/department to properly assess the course and determine how it will transfer for credit towards your Brock degree.

If you decide to register for a course at your host institution that has not been approved by an advisor/department at Brock, the Office of the Registrar will not grant credit towards your Brock degree for completing that course.

Short-Term Study Abroad Program students will need to have their courses approved through a Letter of Permission. Instructions for the Letter of Permission can be found here.

While you are away, you will be responsible for many things on both your home and host campus. It will be up to you to remain organized and be aware of expectations.

When you arrive at the host university, be sure to attend the new student orientation, to properly prepare and learn about expectations on your new campus. The host International Office will tell how to access facilities and services. They will help you to understand academic expectations as well as many other things that will be important for your success. Keep in mind that things will be very different at your host university, and if you need assistance, you must self-identify and ask for help.
