Students Planning to Go Abroad
- Students should register for a normal-on-campus load of classes while waiting for acceptanceÌýfrom their hosting Program.
- Once accepted by the hosting program (BCA, American University, etc) the student needs to contact the Director of International Programs to complete the study abroad approval process.
Students Currently Abroad
Students currently abroad or studying off-campus need to contact their advisors for approval of courses they wish to take for the next semester. Advisors will then remove the advising hold, allowing students to register at their assigned time. NO special registration considerations are made for students registering while abroad; however, students can contact Registration and Records Ìýfor assistance with registration problems or concerns about a registration process. The student must initiate email exchanges with faculty/staff regarding any pre-enrollment/pre-registration forms that may require signatures or approval (Overloads, Verification of Need to enroll in Core, Register by Instructor, Directed or Independent Studies, etc). While abroad students thatÌýhaveÌýnotÌýcompleted the preliminary check-in process for the current semester will have a preliminary check-in "HOLD" heading into registration for the next semester. This holdÌýwill prevent them from registering for classes. Please remember to complete this check-in (if not already done so) BEFORE registration opens.
