We're upgrading your Student Portal! Log in and new applications are unavailable now through end of day July 6 (CT)— that's when you'll return to an easier, improved system.

Already working on a form? Anything you submitted before June 30 carried over automatically. Forms that were started but not submitted don't transfer, but don't worry, you'll find the same forms waiting for you 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.

Just as each study abroad experience is unique, each location offers a different adventure.

Whether you chose to study abroad in London or Tokyo, we've made sure to compile diversity resources specific to your host city and country. Looking for kosher food in Sydney? Wondering how the University of Cape Town is accessible? What about LGBTQ+ support groups in Buenos Aires? Look no further, you came to the right place. If you need additional resources outside of those that are linked below, please do not hesitate to contact us at accesspartnerships@iesabroad.org.

“I'm slowly learning that being "perfect" isn't required to be "prepared." In fact, preparation for study abroad requires imperfection and, more specifically, being okay when things don't go perfectly.”
