How do I change what term I’m applying for after I’ve submitted an application?

If your plans change after submitting an application to KCP International Japanese Language School, you may be able to change the term you’re applying for.

Students sometimes adjust their study abroad plans because of academic schedules, graduation requirements, internships, financial considerations, or personal commitments. If you need to attend a different term, contact KCP as soon as possible to discuss your options. KCP understands that study abroad planning can evolve, and staff will work with you to find a suitable solution.

How Do I Request a Term Change?

To request a change, contact KCP administration directly and explain which term you originally applied for and which term you would like to attend instead.

To help staff process your request efficiently, include:

  • Your full name
  • Phone number
  • Current application term
  • Requested new term
  • Whether you plan to apply for your new term through KCP Direct or another application pathway

Providing complete information helps KCP review your request more quickly.

Is There a Deadline for Changing Terms?

Term changes are generally easier to accommodate when requested early in the application process.

The availability of a new term may depend on factors such as:

  • Program capacity
  • Housing availability
  • Application deadlines
  • Administrative processing timelines

Students are encouraged to contact KCP as soon as they know their plans have changed.

Will I Need to Submit a New Application?

In many cases, KCP can update your existing application rather than requiring a completely new submission.

However, requirements may vary depending on:

  • The timing of the request
  • The terms involved
  • The status of your application

KCP staff can explain the best option for your situation.

Planning Ahead for Your Study Abroad Experience
