Applying to Multiple Programs
Submitting your Vanderbilt Study Abroad application
As you complete each application requirement (by selecting 'done' for the forms or e-signing the documents), you will not be able to edit your responses, except to the passport section. Please be sure you have proofread everything and are finished with your response before clicking 'done' for each written item. Once you have completed all requirements, a submit button will appear. You will not be able to submit your application if you are still missing requirements. If you are having issues submitting, try reloading the page.
Nomination and Home School Approval
Requesting Your Vanderbilt Transcript
If your application requires you to provide a copy of your Vanderbilt transcript, you will want to order an official transcript through the Office of the University Registrar. You can find more information, including links to detailed instructions, at registrar.vanderbilt.edu/transcripts/. Most students will be able to send an electronic transcript directly to the email address provided in the partner application (that is, the application from CIEE, IFSA, SIT, etc.) However, some students, especially those attending exchange programs, may need to provide hard copies. Both electronic and hard copy transcripts can be ordered from the Registrar, but hard copies will take more time, so plan ahead!
