      LAS By Petition Only Programs

      LAS students may petition through the college to participate in and receive credit for a study abroad program that is not currently approved by the University of Illinois. Students must demonstrate that the program meets a curricular need not offered by existing programs.

      Examples of recently approved programs include:

      • University of Michigan Research Semester at CERN (physics)
      • Noor Majan Arabic Institute
      • ICLP National Taiwan University

      If you would like to start the petition process, you must first schedule an advising appointment with Dr. Elly Hanauer and complete a non-approved study abroad petition form.

      The deadline to complete the petition process coincides with the regular study abroad application cycle deadlines: 
      Summer, Fall, and Academic Year programs - February 15
      Spring and Calendar Year programs - September 15
