When You're Abroad
- Because it is often not possible to finalize your course choices until you are at the program site, you may now need to consult with your academic advisor(s) about approval of courses for concentration, distribution, etc. Be sure to include course descriptions if you contact them via email. You may also need to check the Transfer Equivalencies site again or ask for an evaluation of a course. Take care of this as soon as possible after your arrival.
- You will want to be assigned an early registration date for the next term you plan to enroll at UM. In order to be assigned a date and time, and to have the number of credits for which you are registered abroad be counted in your total, please see the Registrar’s Office website for instructions. knowledgebase.
- Collect and bring back, or have electronic access to, as much course material as possible, including course descriptions, syllabi, and assignments, papers, and tests, especially for courses your concentration or any other academic advisor or instructor needs to review.
- Confirm with the program administrator that your final transcript will be sent to:
University of Michigan Office of Undergraduate Admissions
1220 Student Activities Building
515 East Jefferson
Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1316.
Ask how soon after the program completion you might expect the transcript to be sent. (This gives you an idea of when to start checking Wolverine Access for your transfer credit posting.)
- Take FULL advantage of this wonderful opportunity! [A hint from experienced study abroaders: Taking the time and imposing the discipline to keep a journal or blog is well worth it. This is a great way to not only document what you’re doing, thinking, and feeling, but will be a treasure for the rest of your life – a reminder of how and why you took this leap out of your comfort zone and expanded your world.]
