Beginning Wednesday, July 1 at 8:30 a.m. Central Time, you will not be able to log in or create an account while we transition to our new student portal. Access is expected to be restored by the end of the day on Monday, July 6.

If you have started any forms in your MyIESabroad student portal, please complete and submit them by end of day Tuesday, June 30. Submitted forms will carry over automatically. Any forms that are started but not submitted by June 30 will not transfer—but don't worry, you'll still have access to the same forms in the new portal on July 6.

For more details, please review our student system upgrade information. Want a heads-up when the new portal is live? Fill out our interest form. Thank you for your patience during this transition. We're excited to welcome you into the new portal and continue supporting you every step of the way.

Check Out Our Spring & Summer 2018 Photo Contest Winners

Sep 17, 2018

Dancing in a rain room, cooking dinner with your host family, swimming in saltwater pools...study abroad is packed with some pretty unforgettable moments. Our Spring & Summer 2018 Photo Contest captures these moments (945 to be exact) in incredible ways.

With 945 submissions from students studying abroad in 34 locations across the globe, the Spring & Summer 2018 Photo Contest competition was intense. After a week of voting, more than 9,000 votes were cast on Facebook- the most votes we've ever had for a Photo Contest to date - and three winners came out on top. In addition to our top three Facebook winners, we recognized one photo as the IES Abroad Choice, which is selected based on quality of photo, craft, and originality.
