Step 2


After notification of acceptance, you will be REQUIRED to complete the following and return it to the Study Abroad Office:

  • MSU Study Abroad Application
  • $100 Non-Refundable Application Fee
  • 2x2 Photo
    The Study Abroad Office can take your photo digitally when you submit your application. If you choose to submit your own photo, it must be attached to your MSU application and must show your full face without a hat or sunglasses. Please write your name on the back of the photo and DO NOT staple or tape it to your application.
  • Handbook Confirmation
    You can find the handbook confirmation at the end of the Study Abroad Handbook. This form must be signed and returned to the Study Abroad Office confirming that you have read, understand, and agree to abide by all rules and regulations in the Study Abroad Handbook and any program supplementary material provided by the MSU Study Abroad Office of the Institute for International Studies.
  • Release Form
    This form must be notarized by a Notary Public. The Institute for International Studies secretary is a notary and is available to notarize this form for you.

See Item Descriptions below to Determine Which of These Items Applies to You:

  • Bio Sheet (Optional)
    This brag sheet is sent by MSU to your hometown newspaper so that you can be recognized in your community for what you are doing abroad. Many students submit a photo with the form.
  • Request for Payment from Financial Aid
    If you are receiving financial aid or KEES money, you can have this aid sent directly to your program for payment. The Request for Payment Form requests this action. PAYMENT WILL NOT BE SENT DIRECTLY TO YOUR PROGRAM AUTOMATICALLY, you must request it. If you do not complete this form, your aid will be sent to the address you have on file at MSU in the form of a check.

This is a checklist of what you MUST complete for MSU in order to participate in your study abroad program. Failure to complete the required items could result in an inability to gain credit for your program, a lack of availability of your Federal Financial Aid, a lack of housing available at MSU upon your return, or even dismissal from the program.
