See more below. 

• Complete the Clayton State University required form, the USG Goes Global Course Selection Form. See the information below to access the form. This is a required document to be completed by all Clayton State students looking to attend a USG Goes Global program.
• Submit the USG Goes Global Course Selection Form to the Clayton State Study Abroad Office via the submission link below. This document must be completed by the necessary offices before it can be reviewed by the Clayton State Study Abroad Office.
• The Clayton State Study Abroad Office will review the USG Goes Global Course Selection Form. The student will be notified if the form has been approved or denied by the Clayton State Study Abroad Office. If the form is approved, the student can proceed with the next steps and begin applying for a USG Goes Global study abroad program.
• Apply to the USGGG Program of Interest on the USG Goes Global website.
• During the application process, send the program recommendation from the USG Goes Global application to the Clayton State University Campus Representative. Find your Campus Representative for Clayton State University on the Institutional Representative - USG Goes Global website.
• The Campus Representative will receive the program recommendation from the USG Goes Global application. The Clayton State Study Abroad Office will review and complete the program recommendation. If the student’s USG Goes Global Course Selection Form was approved by the Clayton State Study Abroad Office, then the USG Goes Global student application will most likely be approved.
• After the Campus Representative completes the program recommendation this completes the steps with the Clayton State Study Abroad Office. Please proceed to work with the USG Goes Global Program Office on all future program information.
• *The Clayton State Study Abroad Office and Registrar office will assist with registering the student for the USG Goes Global courses. Registration will begin at the designated time assigned for summer enrollment on your campus.

Students that enroll in the London, Paris, Spain, or any other program that ends in August must note that these programs end after the Fall semester fee payment deadline for Clayton State University. Due to the late end dates, these programs may delay financial aid release for Fall semester courses since your grades for these courses will not have posted to your official record. This could result in your classes being dropped for non-payment. Please work closely with Financial Aid and the Registrar offices regarding this issue.

Students should endeavor to discuss with Financial Aid how your aid is disbursed, especially in relation to short-term semesters (eight-week sessions). Undergraduate students should discuss how your aid is awarded and applied. Next, determine if your aid will be made available to cover your study abroad program payments by the designated program dates. Students must adhere to the study abroad payment deadlines and make all necessary payments accordingly whether aid has applied or not. Students will meet with Financial Aid as part of the USG Goes Global Course Selection Form.

If the course does not meet the students graduation requirements, please note that this might jeopardize Financial Aid funding for the course abroad and the student may have to pay for their tuition out of pocket; while the academic credits may not count towards graduation. This may also jeopardize any scholarships, grants, and similar funding utilized to pay for the study abroad program.

Access and submit the USG Goes Global Course Selection Form to complete the steps required at Clayton State.

If a student chooses to Pay Out of Pocket for their program, they are still required to meet with the Office of Financial Aid to understand how any and all aid distribution applies to students attending a study abroad program. If a student does not receive Financial Aid and is Paying Out of Pocket, please select the appropriate box(es) on the form to indicate your status.

The student must complete and submit the USG Goes Global Course Selection Form to show that they have understood the information provided by their Academic Advisor and the Office of Financial Aid.

Submit the USG Goes Global Course Selection Form to the Clayton State Study Abroad Office for review and approval.
