Exchange Opportunities
• 16 different universities around the world• Spend a half- or full semester abroad

General Guidelines• Much easier to work out study abroad in spring than
in fall (due to AIW #3)• You may study abroad with one of our PIM partners (
www.pimnetwork.org) • We cannot arrange for study abroad with non-PIM
partner schools at this time• May be able to arrange study abroad with one of the

Academic Points of Note
• Business courses will count toward your MBA (X530: Overseas Business Study)
• Grades earned while on exchange will be averaged for your final X530 grade
• Plan ahead regarding credits• It is best to complete all of your major/minor
requirements prior to leaving (spring exchange participants)
• Check schools for specific credit requirements
Language Concerns?
• Affordable opportunities for language development available through CIBER
• Some partner schools offer language training (note: you cannot receive Kelley credit for such courses)
Housing, Registering for Classes, Visas, etc…• Partner school’s exchange coordinator will assist you in planning• Partner school will be able to assist you with housing• Coordinators will be able to help you navigate through the process
of registering for classes• Coordinators should be able to provide basic guidance to students
with questions about visas, etc, but ultimately it is your responsibility to make sure you’ve got everything you need to go on exchange– Many countries require that students obtain a student visa– For some countries, U.S. citizens are not required to apply for
a student visa if their stay in the country will be less than 90 days
– If you need a visa, please allow adequate time for processing
Health Insurance• Many schools require you to show proof of medical
coverage; make sure you are covered• Some schools require you to purchase local medical
coverage, regardless of your coverage at home• Make sure that your health plan has “medical
evacuation and repatriation” coverage– If it doesn’t, you can obtain inexpensive
supplemental coverage through the IU Office of Overseas Study or elsewhere
Financial Aid• Additional financial aid to cover study abroad
may be available; see Tim Smith for more details
• If you are a GA, talk with your supervisor and Tim Smith to determine if you can arrange to study abroad and still receive your fee remission
Choosing a School
• Look at the program dates• Consider any potential language issues• Program strengths, reputation, etc. (see their
website)• Talk to students who have been there or who
are there now• Talk to current exchange students from those
schools, if possible
