Updates about exchange
Available schools for Winter Term 2 and Split year exchanges starting in 2027 are now available and listed here. A Split year experience is when a student goes away for a full academic year starting in Term 2.
The list of partner universities you can apply to is more limited for Round 2. When applying, please make sure you have your three choices selected from the list of available schools below.
To learn more about the available schools, please also refer to individual partner pages.
Once you have confirmed that you meet the eligibility requirements for Go Global and for the three partner institutions you’re applying to, you can start an application. Please note, when completing an application, only select Term 2 (or split year, where applicable).
Applications are due on April 28, 2026 @ 12:00 pm NOON
Prepare & plan
