Free mobility
To study abroad for a semester as an independent student—whether at a university with which we have an agreement or at an institution without a current agreement—students must contact the international office of the foreign university directly and strictly follow that office’s instructions.
The student is solely responsible for making initial contact, submitting the application, and handling all academic and administrative matters. The University does not intervene or take any action on behalf of the host institution in cases of open exchange.
Not all universities accept international students outside the specific quota or framework of their agreements, and when they do, they typically charge tuition equivalent to the cost of a regular semester.
In addition, once the academic program has been completed, the student must obtain and submit a transcript that has been properly legalized or apostilled in order to begin the credential recognition process.
