The Off-Campus Study Registration Process for semester or academic year is a two-step process<\/span>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Complete the pre-registration\/advising phase which includes listing your top choice program and preferred term off-campus by January of your Sophomore year. (Your top choice program can change.)\n
      \n
    1. Your pre-registration will be reviewed by a Bates off-campus study advisor and your registration will be opened. You can switch your top choice program at any time but you only have one (1) off-campus study registration open at a time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    2. Complete the new steps by the Off-Campus Study Registration deadline in early February.\u00a0 This includes approval from your major department\/program about how off-campus study fits into your four-year plan of study at Bates. (Please note your Bates off-campus study registration is not your school\/program application.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
