Frequently Asked Questions
What is a study abroad timeline?
A study abroad timeline is a week-by-week plan that shows you what tasks to complete and when, counting back from your program start date. It helps you stay organized and avoid missing important deadlines.
How far in advance should I start planning?
We recommend starting 10-12 months before your program start date. This gives you enough time for university research, applications, language tests, visa processing, and all other preparations.
Is the timeline personalized?
Yes. Your timeline is calculated based on your specific program start date, destination, study level, and current preparation status.
Can I switch between checklist and timeline view?
Yes. Both views show the same tasks — the checklist organizes them by category, while the timeline organizes them by date.
