Information for Accepted, Conditionally Accepted, or Waitlisted Students

Next Steps for Waitlisted or Conditionally Accepted Students

Why was I waitlisted/conditionally accepted?

You may have been waitlisted or conditionally accepted for one of two reasons. First, the GBI course may be at full capacity. We offer students a place on the waitlist in case a student that was accepted drops the course. 

Second, you may be a first term student that applied before grades are in for your first term. The GBI courses all have a GPA requirement, which we cannot verify until your final grades from the first term are in. Once final grades are in, we will review any conditionally accepted applications and provide a final decision.

Next Steps for Accepted Students

What to do next:

We are excited you are traveling with us! 

The first step is to inform us if you accept your place in the course. Please read the email you received carefully and complete all instructions.

Next, you will be receiving several forms that you are required to fill out. Please pay attention to your email and contact us if you have any questions as soon as possible. Here is a checklist of everything you will need to complete:

• Liability Release Form (LRF): This is a critical form - you cannot participate in the course if this is incomplete.
• ViaTRM Form: This form is ONLY for accepted students and is required for participation. This form will collect information that our office requires to plan the course effectively. We will need this filled out as soon as possible. You will be required to submit your passport and proof of health insurance, as well as a few free response questions about your motivation for the course. Please devote some time to these questions - we often pass these responses on to professors and businesses. In the same vein, keep them informative but brief (no more than 3 sentences or 75 words).
• Vendor Form: This form is ONLY for accepted students and is required for participation. Our partners will often send out an additional form for our students to complete. Here, you are often able to request a single room or additional nights before or after the course.
• Travel Planning Sheet: This is ONLY for students accepted into your course. Here, you will be asked to enter in your flight times, preferences, and connect with other students. Please wait to buy your flights until after you have received a “green light” email from our office.
