When planning to study abroad, students should obtain a Study Abroad permit from the Registrar's office and complete it with their Undergraduate Adviser before leaving, if they wish to transfer credits from the various programs. Upon return, their credentials will be submitted to the Registrar's office (Jefferson Hall 100).
