Please refer to the Colgate campus calendar for the Zoom link.
Schedule an Appointment with an Off-Campus Study Staff Member
Identify the programs of greatest interest to you, and then we recommend that students initially start by meeting with a Peer Adviser, a great way for students to get general information about studying off campus from a student who recently went abroad. During the 2021-22 year, there will be three peer advisers (Katy Gardner '21, Caroline Karnosh '21, and Danielle Zarnick '21) who are able to provide basic information about options and processes, or to answer quick questions about the application process. Peer Advising is available by appointment only. Please find the next available calendar times by clicking on the names of the peer advisers above.
After meeting with a peer adviser, we encourage students to reach out to an Off-Campus Study program manager who can answer specific questions regarding programs and applications.
Sophomores have priority for appointments through February. First years, please schedule in March after attending an info session.
