NEW APPLICATION DEADLINE

If you plan to study abroad on any program during the 2026-27 academic year, you must register for the program in the IC Study Abroad application portal, Terra Dotta, by February 15, 2026.

  • Students must register in the IC Terra Dotta portal by February 15 even if the affiliated or non-affiliated program deadline is later. See registration and application instructions for step-by-step assistance.  
  • If registering for an affiliated or non-affiliated program with IC, students have until the published application deadline of the study abroad program to submit the application directly to the study abroad organization or university. This step is not required for London Center applications, since students are applying directly to IC.
  • Program application deadlines for Summer/Fall 2026 are typically from early February to early May 2026. Deadlines for Winter/Spring 2027 programs are typically from early September to early November 2026.
  • If you have questions or want a walk-through of this process, please attend one of the upcoming How to Apply: Study Abroad Application Logistics sessions.

The Office of International Programs aims to offer students high-quality international experiences. Research has demonstrated that studying abroad effectively cultivates global citizenship and valuable intercultural skills, which students can apply personally and professionally throughout their lives. At Ithaca College, students of all majors can participate in semester-long and short-term study abroad programs if they plan proactively.

"More than 75% of study abroad alumni say that their experience helped them develop communication skills, self-confidence, adaptability, and cultural understanding."
