The International Center
The International Center at Jubilee Hall is the epicenter of Seton Hall's global mission.
Second Floor (Rooms 231-234): This space is where Global Chats are hosted alongside, daily International Student and Study Abroad advising sessions.

Campus Presentations
OIP welcomes requests for presentations on Seton Hall's study abroad programs for faculty, staff, classes, student organizations, and other campus events. Our Peer Advisors or Global Ambassadors will typically deliver these presentations, covering any aspect of study abroad at Seton Hall.
During the presentation, we will provide QR codes with detailed information on available programs and resources. We can tailor presentations to specific audiences based on destination, academics, or programs of interest. To request a presentation, please submit the Study Abroad Campus Presentation Form at least two weeks before your desired date.
Study Abroad Advisement
Get Started Info Session: Students may attend a weekly, in-person Get Started Info Session in the Multicultural Room (Jubilee Hall, Room 134) to get an overview about all our current study abroad opportunities.
Academic Advisement: After attending a Get Started Info Session, students consult their academic advisor to understand how a study abroad program fits with their degree requirements. OIP guides students through the process and pre-departure requirements but does not offer academic advisement.
Already Started Advising Session: For students who are familiar with study abroad options and have met with their academic advisor but still have questions, OIP offers Already Started Advising Sessions,one-on-one sessions with a study abroad team member.
Credit Transfer Process
All Seton Hall students studying abroad on a Seton Hall Semester or Third-Party Program are required to submit a Credit Transfer Form before being approved for their program. Click here for detailed instructions on that process.
Overview: Students must obtain signatures from their academic advisor, department chair, school or college dean, and the chair of the department for any credit-bearing course taken abroad outside their major. This completed and signed form ensures that the courses taken abroad will count towards graduation requirements at Seton Hall.
Important: While OIP provides guidance on the process and pre-departure requirements for studying abroad, academic advisement is the responsibility of the student’s academic advisor and department. They have the expertise to address degree requirements. OIP recommends that students prepare for meetings with their academic advisor by having at least double the number of classes needed for their semester or third-party program abroad. This allows the advisor to determine which courses best match Seton Hall equivalents.
International Partnerships
Current Partnerships: Seton Hall University has international partnerships with universities around the world. Click here to see those connections by academic unit.
MOUs: This is the first stage of any international partnership, known as a “Memorandum of Understanding” where institutions agree to take initial steps (without commitment) in collaborating on ideas such as study abroad programs, virtual symposiums, research initiatives and faculty partnerships.
Exchange Agreements: This is a more formal agreement with a partner university and is typically the next step after an MOU. Seton Hall agrees to exchange students, typically for a semester or academic year. Click here to see some of Seton Hall’s active semester programs, some of which are through exchange partners.
New Partnership Ideas: We encourage faculty to work with their departments, school or college to see what global connections can be developed. Click here to get advice on a new partnership idea through our Global Chats.
