How do I apply?

Applying to study abroad is a two-step process. You may complete both steps simultaneously, but the Cornell approval process must be complete before your program advisor in the Office of Global Learning can submit any approval or nomination to the program.

1. For Cornell Approval, click on the "Apply" button on this webpage. Applications are approved by the Office of Global Learning on a rolling basis until the application deadline listed on this page.
2. For Program Admission, complete an external application directly on Trinity College Dublin's study abroad webpage, using the link in the “Snapshot” section. This application must be submitted by the CASA Dublin deadline (March 1 for Fall/AY and October 1 for Spring), which is earlier than the Trinity College Dublin deadline.
   • External applications are reviewed for specific areas/schools on a rolling basis and certain areas of study can fill up quickly. Early applications are encouraged.
   • The external application requires an academic reference that must come from a faculty or graduate assistant. Applicants will input the reference's contact information in their external application and the reference will automatically be sent a prompt to upload a reference letter.
