The ̽̽ Office of International Education and ISEP list chance of placement for each exchange site, which bear in mind both how many spaces are available and what the expected demand will be for that specific term. Chances of placement are subject to change from one semester to the next so we encourage students to remain flexible throughout the application process. The chance of placement rating applied to any program is only meant for reference; no applicant is guaranteed admission.
How to determine chances of placement
The chance of placement for each ̽̽ Bilateral Exchange program is listed on the Overview tab of the program brochure. The chance of placement(s) listed will be specific to the upcoming term(s).
The chance of placement for each ISEP site can be found on ISEP’s program page for that specific institution. Students can read more about ISEP chance of placement here:

Advice
- When making placements, it is assumed that all sites listed on your application work for you academically and that you are willing, able, and happy to be placed at that site. While we work hard to grant as many first-choice placements as possible, we do need to look to alternatives each semester. Please be sure that all sites listed on your application work for you academically and are of serious interest to you.
- It is ̽̽’s recommendation that students list three programs on their exchange application. On a ̽̽ Exchange application (within GoAbroad), students are able to list up to 5 bilateral exchange sites on their Host Site Request List form. On an ISEP application (via ISEP’s website), students are able to list up to 10 sites.
- To increase your chance of placement at one of your requested sites, it is recommended that you include one program with “Good” (or better” chance of placement).
- The final deadline for all programs are September 15 for spring semester and February 15 for fall and academic year. Most exchange sites (̽̽ Bilateral and ISEP) are filled by their application deadlines, August 10 for spring semester and January 10 for fall and academic year terms. For this reason, we strongly encourage you to apply by the exchange program deadlines. Please note that GoAbroad applications for ̽̽ Exchange and ISEP Exchange programs must be initiated at least 10 days before the final ̽̽ study abroad application deadline. The application requirements for these programs include multiple requirements and steps that require advanced planning in order to be successfully completed and submitted. The OIE staff is not able to make exceptions to applications initiated in this time or extensions to the application deadline for incomplete requirements. For more details about application deadlines visit our Application Deadlines and Eligibility page.
Our promise
Our goal is to place students at one of their requested sites, and if unable to do so then we will work hard to identify an appropriate alternative site. For this reason, it is essential that you review your preferred site’s academic and language proficiency requirements. If you do not meet a site’s requirements, then your chances of being placed will be limited.
