Registering Process
 AmeriSpan Academic Study Abroad
 

Step One – Make sure you meet the minimum requirements! Many of our programs do not require previous language study. However, students applying for Language and Culture programs must have a GPA of at least 2.5. Those applying for Language and Culture PLUS program must have a GPA of 2.75. If your GPA does not meet these requirements, we will review your application packet and may require an additional information such as a second letter of recommendation.

Step Two – Make sure that your school will accept the credit for the program you have chosen.* We strongly suggest that you make an appointment with your school’s study abroad department for guidelines. While you are there, please have the study abroad advisor sign the Permission to Study Abroad Form.

Step Three – Carefully read the Terms & Conditions and the Study Abroad Checklist. Complete and sign all application forms. Mail your completed application forms and include the following: 

• Letter of recommendation (from a professor)
• Official copy of your transcript 
• $200 deposit - All payments may be made with personal check, money order, VISA, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. Full payment is due 8 weeks prior to the start date. Applications and full payments received less than eight weeks prior to the start date will be subject to an additional $75 late registration fee. 

IMPORTANT NOTE*
Students must arrange acceptance of credit from their university/college before beginning an AmeriSpan program. AmeriSpan will not be responsible for acceptance of credit after the program has ended. After you have completed the program your university or college will receive an official transcript from the U.S. accrediting institution or the foreign university that you have attended. Please hold on to all of your completed documents, exams, papers, syllabi etc, so you may show your school administrator if needed. If needed, AmeriSpan can provide any course descriptions.
