For Asbury travel courses and semesters abroad, follow the below step-by-step process to apply. If you are looking to apply for the Deese Initiative Grant or other independent travel, the application process varies. Contact us if you have any questions.
1. To be eligible, students must maintain "good standing" status up to and during participation in the program. "Good standing" requires students to have no excessive chapel skips, no outstanding student conduct or behavioral files, no counts of academic probation nor plagiarism, and up-to-date bill payments or payment plans in place with Student Accounts. Any probation, including chapel probation, will keep a student from participating in an off-campus program.
2. A student must have a current cumulative GPA minimum of 2.5 and have completed at least two semesters of college coursework at Asbury. Transfer students must have at least one of the semesters completed at Asbury. A petition process is available upon request.
3. A student may not participate in the same travel course for credit more than once. Students may re-attend travel courses with the permission of the faculty member, but they will not be awarded academic credit.
4. The student bears the responsibility to secure appropriate documentation (e.g., passports) for travel.
5. A more thorough outline of all policies and procedures related to study abroad in general at Asbury University may be found in the current Catalog.
You will need to complete the Application for an Off-Campus Program. Please note that you will need a resumé and a clear headshot to complete the form.

4. The student bears the responsibility to secure appropriate documentation (e.g., passports, visas, transcripts) from the host agency both before and after the off-campus experience.
5. Please note that there will be an additional “AU External Program Fee” charged to the student’s account. The student is responsible for the $200 or $500 processing fee in addition to any tuition, travel, housing, or other expenses. The fee amount is dependent on the term – fall, spring or summer.
6. Those participating in an Asbury University Study Abroad program may also need to submit a nonrefundable housing deposit. This deposit will be credited towards their tuition cost.
7. Registration will take place only upon final approval by the Provost and confirmation from the host agency of acceptance into their program. Required forms are only available by meeting with the Global Programs & Initiatives Office staff.
8. These procedures and policies are in addition to those required by the host agency and are considered to be of final authority in determining participation.

1. Students visiting for the purpose of participating in off-campus programs are required to have completed at least two semesters of college coursework at their respective institution and to have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.75 (please note that some programs have higher GPA requirements).
2. Upon acceptance, students will be required to submit the appropriate paperwork including the Student Acknowledgement Form, Transcript Request Form, Good Standing Verification Form, Home Institution Certification Form, Program Specific Application Form, and Principles and Expectations of Community Life. These forms are available upon meeting (via Zoom) with the Global Programs & Initiatives Office staff.
3. Students will submit the appropriate deposits to Asbury University on time.
