What To Know Before You Go
- Why do I want to study abroad?
- What are my personal, academic, and social goals?
- What do I need to do in order to succeed?
- If you live on campus, let Mike Robilotto and his staff in
Residence Life know that you will not be on campus for the time you intend to
be abroad.
- At the end of your semester or year, make sure to have an official
transcript sent and try to get an unofficial copy to take home with you.
- When you return to campus, you will be asked to participate
in a reentry session to talk about your experiences abroad.
Prior Approvals:
Once you have applied and been accepted by both the
Castleton Study Abroad Office and your specific study abroad program, you will
begin the process of having your courses pre-approved by working with your
academic advisor and study abroad coordinator. Your course “Prior Approval
Form” must be
completed before any federal financial aid can be awarded. Having your courses
approved prior to your departure ensures that you will receive appropriate transfer credit for them once you've earned a passing grade.
