TIPS WHILE ABROAD
- Contact International SOS for any health, safety, or travel concerns: 215-942-8226
- Learn about culture shock and look for ways to combat it.
- Be understanding if snags arise when trying to change email password, register for classes, etc.; Most problems are easily solved – please contact our office for advice.
- Be aware that your classes may not transfer back to TCU until 8 – 10 weeks after the semester ends. This may delay your registration time by a day or two, and may appear to impact your financial aid (your aid will be reinstated after the courses transfer in).
- Keep copies of all syllabi, class assignments, and papers for verification of work completed abroad
- Keep in touch – send us an e-mail or postcard!
