• Timing of study abroad is of crucial importance to student-athletes. There are many program lengths to choose from, ranging from year-long to just two or three weeks in duration.
• You will need to consider various factors, including practice and competition schedules, likelihood that you will have a chance to engage in post-season competition (bowl games, Big Ten or NCAA tournaments/meets, etc.) other team commitments, off-season activities, eligibility issues, scholarship constraints, and access to conditioning facilities while abroad.
• Speaking with your coach and MAC counselor will help in determining the most appropriate time for you. See Timing by Sport guidelines below.

As a student-athlete, you MUST choose a program that yields resident credits, meaning that you will earn an actual grade for the course on your 鲍鱼tv transcript, rather than just transfer credits.

Speak with your Academic Coordinator and the Compliance staff with regards to any specific eligibility issues. The NCAA has strict requirements regarding participating in outside competition; be sure to obtain all the necessary information from Compliance and your Academic Coordinator prior to going abroad. You can get details regarding your program from your Study Abroad Advisor or Chris Haynes in the Education Abroad Gateway Office.

Even more so than most students, it is essential that while you are abroad you continue to maintain your physical fitness. Speak with your coach and/or trainers about developing a plan for while you鈥檙e away. Talk with your study abroad advisor about the program itinerary and gym access.
