A non-UM Study Abroad Provider is requiring that an “Advisor Approval Form” be completed by a Study Abroad Advisor. Who can complete this?

At U-M, these forms can be completed by academic advisors. Even if the form asks for a signature from a study abroad advisor, your academic advisors are considered study abroad advisors in these cases. Although the International Center advises on non-UM study abroad programs, we are not able to sign these forms because we do not have access to students’ academic or disciplinary records.

If the form is also asking for disciplinary approval or questions regarding academic standing, you may need to request a Dean’s Recommendation Form.
