Students interested in participating in a Texas Tech study abroad program must submit an online application through Texas Tech Study Abroad by the appropriate deadline .

For most programs, the entire application process is online, though some programs may require submission of hard-copy documents. To assist students with the process, we have detailed application instructions.

How to Apply for Study Abroad

Please note that the video does not represent all elements of the current application as the system was updated in late 2025. However, it provides a helpful overview of the process and what to expect.

Application procedures can vary by program. In addition to reviewing the video, students should consult the application instructions available within each application.

1. Find your program (opens in new tab) and click the "Apply Now" button on the program brochure.
2. Log in using your Texas Tech access ID (eRaider, if applicable) and password.
3. Select the desired term.
4. Complete all items listed including videos, quizzes, and questionnaires.
5. Read, follow all instructions, and provide your digital signature on documents under "Signature Documents."
6. Students applying to an affiliate or exchange program may need to complete an additional application. Instructions will be provided by your Study Abroad Counselor. (This is the most commonly missed step.)
7. Your application will be reviewed once online elements are complete, even if offline requirements (e.g., passport proof) are pending. Review typically takes 2–3 business days.
8. Click the "Submit" button. You're done!

Students already accepted into a program wishing to extend for an extra semester may need to submit another application and should contact their Study Abroad Counselor .
