Paperwork and Forms: You’ll need to complete and submit several important documents, including health forms, liability waivers, and contact information forms.

Second Information Packet: As your departure date approaches, you’ll receive a second information packet. This provides more detailed information on your program itinerary, travel logistics, and additional resources to help you prepare effectively.
Orientation/1-1 Discussion: Before departure, we will conduct an orientation session to cover final preparations, answer any remaining questions, and ensure you’re fully ready for your semester abroad.
