NEW iUNI-Portal

The "APPLY NOW" feature is currently not available and is expected to be operational on August 19th.  This summer the Study Abroad Center (SAC) will be launching the new Portal, that will replace SAC website, travel registry and the on-line application.  We are excited about this development, as it will offer a better user experience to our clients.  Once the new iUNI-Portal is launched, you will be automatically redirected to it.  Please stay tuned and contact our office with questions at study-abroad@uni.edu.
