Pre-Departure Planning

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.
