If you lose your passport while you are abroad, having a photocopy will greatly facilitate getting it reissued. If you are not a U.S. citizen, initiate this process as soon as possible. Your study abroad program will give you information about how to apply for a visa. Also be sure to check on visa requirements for countries where you might want to travel during your time abroad. Attend the study abroad pre-departure meetings in November or April.
Attendance is required.
You must attend these meetings to receive important information about Study Abroad Status, billing, residence halls, and registration for the semester following your time abroad. If you will be abroad on a non-UR program, notify the Center for Study Abroad of your acceptance so that your Change of Status form can be processed. The form will not be processed until you ask us to do so. See your academic and faculty advisers to arrange for course approvals. Bring along course descriptions and course approval forms.
