Registration Process for Spring 2010 Exchange Programs

To register, you must successfully complete the following steps:

  • By 12 a.m. on September 16 - 20, 2009 :
    • Apply online. The link will be provided via email from the International Center.
    • A lottery link will be live September 16 at 12 p.m. through September 20 at 12 a.m.
    • Have your passport ready as passport information will be requested during the online application process.
    • After 9 p.m. on September 20, any registration submitted will be accepted on a case-by-case basis and will be considered late, subject to a post-registration fee of $375. Late registration will only be accepted if the registration is for unassigned spots. Students who register late will be notified after the initial lottery process is complete.
  • From September 21 - 23, 2009 :
    • An Excel-based lottery will randomly determine the results that will be communicated to you by Bertrand Guillotin, Director of the International Center
  • By noon on September 25, 2009 :
    • Submit the following to Candice Aldrich, Program Assistant of the International Center:
      • A non-refundable application fee of $300.
        • Your check/money order should be made payable to Duke University; we cannot accept cash or credit card payments.
        • Any student whose check is returned for insufficient funds will be charged a $30 processing fee.
        • A copy of your passport's photo page, indicating your passport's expiration date. 
    • Any student who does not submit the required items by noon on September 25, 2009 will lose his/her spot and will be wait-listed. 
      • If a student is waitlisted on all choices (locked out), his/her check(s) will not be deposited until either a spot has been found or the student withdraws.
  • By noon on September 30, 2009 :
    • Students will be given the opportunity to change their exchange program enrollment based on available unassigned spots until noon on September 30, 2009. After this date, under no circumstances, will any student be allowed to move between exchange programs.
  • After September 30, 2009:
    • The International Center will notify the partner exchange school of your assignment.
    • The Registrar will place "Exchange Program" on ACES Web for the exchange term or semester as you will not be registering for Fuqua courses during that term or semester.

For UADE/EDDE: Students who select UADE/EDDE will need to pay the program fee, along with the application fee, to the International Center in the amount of $1,500 (check made payable to Duke University).

Couples:  If two students would like to apply as a couple so that they can be placed in the same exchange program, they can do so and both should complete all the steps outlined above (listing the other on their online application). However, couples will only receive one random number. They will have to submit two separate checks, for $300 each, to pay for the application fees (and program fees in the case of UADE/EDDE).

Waitlist Policies

  • During the lottery, a waitlist will be created for any exchange program that is over-subscribed.
    • If a student withdraws from the exchange program where a waitlist exists, the International Center will inform the first person on the waitlist that a space has become available. The student is responsible for contacting the International Center within 24 hours to indicate whether he or she will take the open space.
  • Students who are locked out entirely (waitlisted on all 3 choices) will have priority on the waitlist of their first choice.
  • If a student does not receive their first or second choice, they will be placed in their third choice but will be placed on the waitlist for the other 2 choices until the end of the swap and switch period.
