1) Finish all elements in your MSU online study abroad application, especially the course equivalency sheet.
2) Create a cost budget sheet with Mandy or Michelle (make an appointment at the IC front desk).

4) Go to the Hub to make an appointment with either Elizabeth or Amanda for consortium agreement (required for non-MSU programs). Or just turn in papers at the Hub if no consortium is needed (MSU exchanges and short-term programs do not need a consortium agreement.)

6) Go to your bank of choice to arrange for loans as per your award package.
7) The loans will be deposited in your bank account as usual and can not be disbursed early to accommodate prepayments to your provider. You have to make early payments by using a credit card or other means. You will be able to pay off the credit card when you get your disbursement the second Friday of the semester.
