Instructions for Advisor Form
The purpose of the Advisor Form is for you to demonstrate to BU Study Abroad that you have discussed your study abroad plans with your advisor and understand how study abroad may impact your overall academic requirements.
To do so, you must “nominate” an advisor to complete the form. Be sure to read the Applicant Agreement statement after you click “nominate.”
Please review the additional instructions below to be sure you nominate the appropriate person or office.

Most institutions require students to nominate an advisor in their institution’s study abroad office. Please contact your study abroad office to determine the appropriate advisor to nominate.
To nominate your appropriate advisor in the Advisor Form recommendation, first search for your advisor in the directory lookup. They will not be listed; click the “Recommender not listed” option. Manually enter your advisor’s information and send the request.
