How to Apply...

ISA Direct accepts applications on a rolling admissions basis. This means that we evaluate applications on a first come, first serve basis. We do have an application due date, but students should apply as soon as possible to allow for time to apply for a passport and student visa if necessary. Once your completed application has been received you will be contacted by phone and/or email with an official status. Once accepted, you will receive an acceptance package in the mail, complete with paperwork and a guide to studying abroad with ISA Direct!

Just follow these four steps and you're on your way toward an exciting opportunity to study in the country of your dreams! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us! Our phone number is (800) 580-8826. You can also email us at isa@studiesabroad.com. We'll be glad to answer your questions! You can also check out the FAQ page for more info.

Completed applications should be sent to

International Studies Abroad, Inc.

U.S.A.

Step 1 - Meet the minimum requirements

For most ISA Direct programs the GPA requirement is a minimum of 3.0 GPA.

If you have lower than the minimum GPA requirement please contact the ISA office at 800-580-8826 to discuss your options.

Step 2 - Complete the application package

With your application ISA requires a copy of your college transcript. While we do not require official transcripts your transcript must be issued by your school. An unofficial or student copy will suffice. We do not accept transcripts downloaded from the internet. Make sure that your name and student ID number appear on the transcript.

Read and sign all sides of the program application carefully, including the refund policy and release located on the back of the application. Also make sure to have your Study Abroad Office complete the Academic Credits section on the back of the application to show that you have pre-approval for the program. A program application should be attached to the back of the ISA catalogue, or you can download the application.

Your application package should include:

  • ISA program application

  • One copy of your college transcript

  • A deposit of $350. Please make checks payable to ISA

Step 3 - Check the due dates for final forms

See our Prices and Dates page to find out when your forms, application and payment are due. Applications should be submitted several weeks prior to this date. Applications are processed on a rolling admissions basis. Programs may close prior to the final forms and payment due date if they reach capacity.

Step 4 - Mail your application package

Don't forget to double-check your application package! When it is complete, send it to ISA. We'll contact you as soon as we process your application.
