Interested in going on a BreakAway?  Here is how to apply. 

(1)  You will need to access the TerraDotta online portal found on the single login page

(2)  If it is your first time on the site, you will have to "accept" some conditions and indicate your major.

(3)  When you get to the Welcome message, click on the "Find programs" button.  Then enter breakaway into the search criteria.

(4)  Click on the specific program that interests you.  Make sure it has the correct year!  Sometimes old programs show up.

(5)  Click on the Apply Now button (upper right above the program description).  This will bring you to the page where you will enter and/or upload all your information.

Three items that are required to complete a BreakAway application:

• Your application essay.  (We recommend writing your essay in a Word document, then copying and pasting into the TerraDotta application)
• Proof of a passport or passport application (for international BreakAways) or of a valid state ID (for domestic BreakAways).
• Conduct reference from Student Life - you need to list dennis.schumacher@ic.edu

If you need to apply for a passport (or renew your passport - please renew if your passport will expire within six months of your travel dates), this is what you need to do:

(1)  Visit https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/apply-renew-passport/apply-in-person.html

(2)  If this is your first ever passport, you must apply in person and provide proof of citizenship, which is normally your birth certificate.  Locally, the only place you can apply is at the Morgan County Courthouse in downtown Jacksonville during week day work hours.
