How & When to Apply to a Global Education Program
All UCI students are eligible to participate in global education opportunities including study, research, internship, and more if they meet UCI eligibility requirements for Student International Activities and take the below 2 steps.
- Undergraduate students will be full-time, degree-seeking in good academic standing at the time of application and participation.
- Graduate students will be making satisfactory progress toward the completion of their degree as defined by the UCI Graduate Council and the Graduate Division.
- Students will not be on disciplinary or academic probation nor have any other student conduct sanction unfilled during the intended term abroad.
- Any student under 18 will need parental/guardian consent.
If you have more questions about the 2 step process, feel free to connect with the UCI Study Abroad Center.

AND…Don’t forget to apply for or renew your passport! All programs with travel will require that you have a passport that is valid for at least 6 months after your program end date. If you do not have a passport or it will expire less than 6 months after your program, apply for one now. Visit UCI Passport Services or the embassy of the issuing country for information right away in case there are processing delays. Undocumented students can book an appointment with the University of California Immigrant Legal Services Center for guidance.
