ISU Abroad: New Online
Application System for Study Abroad
Students interested in study abroad can apply for CALS
Spring and Summer 2009 programs using the "ISU Abroad" online
application. The new system makes it easier for students to complete
study abroad applications and for program directors to review them.
It will hopefully also reduce paper use. If you have any questions regarding
this new system, please contact Jodi Cornell, jcornell@iastate.edu,
294-1851.
