Middlebury students must apply for pre-approval to study abroad.

The deadline to study abroad during 2024-25 has passed. 

Middlebury students interested in applying to study away during 2025-26:

  1. Complete the Registration of Intent to Study Away – DEADLINE NOVEMBER 1, 2024

    The Registration of Intent to Study Away (DEADLINE NOVEMBER 1) asks students to select their term(s) off-campus (fall, spring, year, and flexible) along with justification for selection of the term(s). This Registration of Intent is non-binding but a required step in the application process. If you do not complete this step by the November 1 deadline you will be ineligible to study away during 2025-26.

    All students will be assigned a term following submission of the Registration of Intent to Study Away. Term assignments will be distributed to students the week of November 18. Students may petition their term assignments but switches of term assignments are limited in order to ensure an on-campus enrollment balance. For Middlebury, a small, residential liberal arts college with a large participation rate in study away, it is very important to manage a balanced enrollment between the fall and spring semester. The on-campus academic program, housing, and student activities could be undermined if there is a striking imbalance between study away semester enrollments.
