Please bring the following information to your pre-departure advising appointment:
- Program details
Have information about where you are going, how long you will
be there and what university is sponsoring your program (more
information on selecting a study-abroad
program). This is particularly important if you are going
on a non-UM program.
- Course descriptions
Bring a list of titles and descriptions of the courses available on
the program you've selected (more information
on selecting courses in a study abroad program). The RLL advisor's recommendations
can only be as detailed as the materials you bring. Keep in mind that
your RLL advisor cannot guarantee in advance that the courses you take abroad
will count toward your concentration or minor requirements. This can
only be verified when you return because there are typically not enough
details available prior to your trip to determine what level of instruction
is given.
While you are abroad:
- It is imperative that you keep your syllabi, transcripts and any course materials
available (such as quizzes, assignments and papers). The more details you have in support of
your classes, the more accurate your advisor can be when assigning credit.
When you return from abroad:
- Make sure the sponsoring university sends your transcript to U-M
Undergraduate Admissions. (If you went on a U-M program, your credits
will automatically be added to your transcript about four to six weeks
after the end of the academic term.)
- Watch your unofficial transcript on Wolverine Access. When the transfer
credit appears, you are ready for your second RLL advising appointment.
- For your RLL advising appointment, bring all of the materials from your study abroad courses. You must bring
back the following documents: course syllabi and description and additional course materials (papers, exams, and
class notes). The RLL advisor will review these materials to determine
if and how the courses will count toward your concentration or minor.
While study-abroad courses may be accepted for transfer by the University,
the RLL evaluation will determine whether the courses
meet specific department requirements for your plan of study.
