Application Instructions: 

  • To apply for a study abroad program, simply click the “apply now” button on the page of your desired program to begin an application.
  • You will then have to select the term you are interested in and complete a few questionnaires, virtually sign a few documents, and watch a safety orientation video. Please note that to virtually sign your documents, you will need to email a copy of your driver's license or passport to studyabroad@mercer.edu.
  • The Study Abroad Office will review your application and accept or not accept you depending on your academic/disciplinary record and program availability.
  • Once you have been accepted, you will need to pay the $75 study abroad fee to the Bursar’s Office (for faculty-led programs, this is already included in the overall program fee). You can do this through your MyMercer account.
  • You will also need to complete a few more questionnaires, review a health and safety PowerPoint, and, depending on your program, complete a course approval form and an external application to a foreign university or third-party provider.
  • Following your acceptance and completion of all required materials, you will have to decide to decline or commit to your program. If you change your mind, you may decline after acceptance. You will not, however, be reimbursed for the $75 study abroad fee. If you choose to commit, you are responsible for all program deposits and fees. Please do not start paying program deposits and fees until you fully commit to a program. ONCE YOU HAVE COMMITTED TO A PROGRAM, NO PAYMENTS ARE REFUNDABLE.
