Consult an administrator of the study-abroad or foreign exchange student program at a university. Some colleges allow students to enroll in overseas programs while simultaneously receiving credit for academic coursework at their current university. Ask questions regarding program enrollment requirements, travel and safety information, academics and costs.
Contact the International Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), sponsored by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, and inquire about the student exchange program. The agency's main role is to help oversee and monitor students, exchange visitors and their dependents during enrollment in the U.S. educational system. The SEVP also maintains data such as lists of approved foreign exchange sites, safe travel tips and visa application information.
Access websites specifically geared towards study-abroad or foreign exchange programs, such as the National Student Exchange (NSE) or the ASSE's International Student Exchange Program. Carefully read and understand the program's terms, conditions and requirements before fully committing to any agency.
