Arrival dates are mandatory. Students are advised not to plan or purchase their travel arrangements until they have been admitted to the UIW Exchange Program and have been approved for a J-1 visa by a U.S. consulate.
Though UIW does not foresee any major changes regarding the improvement of the health environment in the U.S., specifically San Antonio, Texas, UIW reserves the right to postpone or cancel the exchange program at any point.
If UIW postpones or cancels the exchange program due to health concerns related to COVID-19, study abroad candidates should be prepared for the financial and academic implications. UIW is not responsible for any financial losses incurred due to the cancellation of the exchange program or any other costs associated with U.S. and/or foreign official or government requirements, directives, or recommendations.
UIW may accept up to two (2) undergraduate students during an academic year or one (1) undergraduate student for an entire academic year (AY). An academic year is defined as the fall and spring semesters.
Please send your student nomination(s) via email to UIW Study Abroad at studyabroad@uiwtx.edu.
Missed the deadline? Contact us to inquire about whether we are still accepting applications for the upcoming term.
Please complete the Exchange Program Application and email the following documents to studyabroad@uiwtx.edu.
IMPORTANT: Post-admittance, students will be required to submit health records for proof of
meningitis vaccine directly to UIW’s Med+Proctor App within Cardinal Apps.
Exchange students are required to purchase international health insurance from UIW only. Other insurance will not be accepted.
Texas State law (SB 62) mandates that all entering students under the age of 22 provide a certificate signed by a health care provider or an official immunization record verifying that a student has been vaccinated against bacterial meningitis or has received a booster during the five years preceding admission to the University. Students cannot pre-register for courses without having submitted appropriate medical documentation. Please visit the Health Services website to learn more.
Students who are accepted into UIW’s exchange program will receive a Certificate of Eligibility (DS-2019) and an information packet with the next steps from International Student and Scholar Services. For more information, please contact us at intl@uiwtx.edu.
