Applying for an ISEP Program
Each ISEP member has its own application procedure and calendar and selects its own nominees for ISEP. You do not apply directly to ISEP, but submit your application to the ISEP coordinator at your institution, who will forward the application to ISEP. ISEP accepts applications from sophomores, juniors, seniors and graduate students, who:

- are enrolled and in good academic standing at an ISEP member institution and have completed at least one academic year of study, recognized by the member institution, prior to the program
- have a strong academic background (for U.S. students, a minimum grade point average of 2.75 is usually required)
Your institution may have additional criteria for study abroad or participation in ISEP.

HOW TO APPLY

1. Is your institution a member of ISEP? Only students at ISEP member institutions are eligible for ISEP exchanges. If you do not know if your institution is a member, please check the membership list.
Students attending non-member institutions are welcome to apply for all ISEP-Direct programs (except for Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Heredia, Costa Rica). See your study abroad coordinator to find out if your institution is an ISEP Affiliate or ask your study abroad advisor to contact ISEP regarding participation.

2. Make an appointment with the ISEP coordinator on your campus, or with your Office of Study Abroad. Your ISEP coordinator is your primary contact with ISEP and will advise you on the application process. Students do not directly submit their applications to ISEP; the ISEP coordinator on your campus will forward completed applications to ISEP.

3. Your ISEP coordinator will provide you with an application, or you can fill in you personal information on the downloadable application forms, print them out, and take them to your ISEP coordinator.
