How to Apply?

Step 2: Print, complete and submit all required forms to: 

Travel Study Division

3000 State University Drive East

Sacramento, CA 95819-6103

All forms must be submitted at least six weeks prior to departure. Upon receipt of your forms, a designated faculty sponsor will review your proposal. You will be notified by mail if your program has been accepted for credit. 

Step 3: Upon returning from your NETC program, you must submit a completed project to CSU and it must be received by the university within one year of your original registration, in order to receive credit for the program. A project typically consists of a paper at least ten pages in length, as well as a travel journal/scrapbook, brochures or any other materials related to your tour. 

Once your faculty sponsor receives your project, it will be graded on a credit/no credit basis, and you will receive written confirmation regarding whether or not you have earned your credits(s).
