College Major Advisor Approvers
Find my College Major Advisor Approver
Please reach out to your relevant Major Advisor for approval to study abroad.
Contact your major advisor to set up a meeting. When scheduling the meeting, include your program name and a brief description of your academic motivations for pursuing study abroad. After the meeting, your major advisor will fill out an approval form within your PASSPORT application. Students applying to Fall, Spring, or Academic Year abroad must have a major declared prior to the start of their study abroad program, otherwise you will be ineligible to participate in the program.
