As soon as you submit your application to Go Global, you will be contacted by the advisor with instructions for next steps. You can apply to Go Global well in advance of the deadline to get a headstart on the rest of your application.
Students are encouraged to apply for on-campus dormitory on the partner application. Room preferences include single or double. Requests will be carefully considered; however, due to limited rooms, students are not guaranteed with dormitory. Alternatively, off-campus housing information will be provided.
In addition to paying the Go Global fee following the Go Global deadline, students are responsible for the costs of travel, insurance, living and accommodations associated with participating in this program. For more information on the cost of living in Hong Kong, please check out this website.
Go Global Research Abroad Award: $1,000 per research experience

To be eligible for the award, you must have an average of at least 70% on your best 24 credits in the Winter Session of the previous year (with no failed or incomplete courses).
If you were on a co-op work term, you must have at least 70% on your best 12 credits in the other term.
You will be automatically considered for the award, so you will not need to apply separately.
