After you have been admitted to a program, there are a
number of important pre-departure forms to complete. While they may seem
overwhelming to do -- especially while you finish your semester on-campus -- the
forms are an important step for Augsburg Abroad and your program to make plans
for your departure and study.
You will receive the Augsburg Abroad Pre-departure Packet to
complete once you are admitted. Your program may also have additional
pre-departure forms for you to complete.
Passport & Visa
You will need to
apply for a passport, if you have not done so already. Please refer to the
Passport Information sheet for details. Some countries will require that you
also obtain a student visa to study in their country. Check with your program
for requirements and guidance.
Registration
You will be
registered at Augsburg during your term off-campus. Augsburg Abroad registers
all students once they have submitted a Credit Agreement form by the stated
deadline (not needed for International Partners students). Students on Center
for Global Education and International Partners programs are registered by those
programs.
Program Payment
Your program fees and costs will be charged directly to your
Augsburg student account. A program invoice from Augsburg Abroad will be sent to you
prior to your departure. You are responsible for paying the program balance
minus your financial aid amount before you leave. Payment plans are not
available.
Housing
If you wish to have Augsburg housing upon your return to campus:
Go through the housing lottery if you are still waiting on acceptance from
your program. Contact Cindy Rowe in the Residential Life office at x1488 or
rowe@augsburg.edu for assistance.
If you are returning spring semester, contact Cindy Rowe in the Residential
Life office for forms to complete and assistance. These must be completed
by November 1st at the latest in order to be considered.
Pre-Departure Orientation
Augsburg Abroad
will notify you of the required pre-departure orientation session. There, we
will discuss logistical issues related to your study abroad planning and
introduce you to important cultural adjustment issues.
Graduation If you will be a graduating senior accepted to study abroad, remember
to apply for graduation before you leave or immediately upon your return.
Contact the Registrar’s Office for assistance.
