Florence Application

The best decision I ever made was to study abroad.  I did things I never imagined I would do. … Studying abroad is an opportunity that will only cross your path once, so sign up and pack your bags!  Embrace it and enjoy it because those four months fly by and when you get back to the states you'll be missing your "new" home!

Participation in CCI Florence is currently capped at 18 students per semester, so it is recommended that you take your application seriously and submit it early. Spring 2013 applications are due by May 1.

You can download the application below and complete it, or you can pick up a copy in 334 Franklin Hall. The application includes a checklist of all the materials you need to submit, including two recommendations. (Recommendation forms are included with the application.) 

Here is the Florence Application.

All instructions for completing the application are included in it. Once all your application materials have been received, your application will be processed and a decision will be made. You’ll receive an email as soon as that happens. If you’re waiting and wondering, feel free to email Deborah Davis – dldavis@kent.edu - to ask about the status of your application. It may be that something is missing, like a recommendation, and you’ll want to follow up on it.
