Application Tips

Congratulations on the next steps of starting your adventure abroad! Sometimes application processes can be difficult to navigate, but we want to provide you with some tips to make this process seamless. 

Application Process Tips

1. Create a folder in your USC email labeled Study Abroad. File all communication with the EAO office as well as emails received from Via TRM (our application database) for your records. 

2. If some fields are gray and you cannot enter information in them when you start your application, don’t worry! These fields will be automatically populated from the Banner system hourly or daily over the weekend. 

3,. Via TRM uses single sign-on. This means that you will use your USC username (not email address) and password to log in. You will not use a separate username and password.  

4.  Please be sure to check application deadlines for your specific program. This applies to the USC application as well as affiliate parter and host university applications.  

5. Should you have any questions about the process, please email edabroad@sc.edu.

Challenge the conventional. Create the exceptional. No Limits.
