Appendix 1: Checklists Before Leaving Middlebury ✓Provide International Programs with an address, phone, fax, and email where you can be reached abroad. ✓You need to be approved by Middlebury in order to study abroad and to receive credit for your study abroad experience. If you have changed your plans since being approved, you must discuss this with International Programs. ✓Sign and return the Conditions of Participation form to International Programs. ✓Complete the online pre-departure forms and attend pre-departure orientation meetings. See www.middlebury.edu/international/sa/events for a meeting schedule. ✓If you are on financial aid, call or stop by the Office of Student Financial Services. Tell them that you are a student going abroad, and ask them specifically if your financial aid is in order, both for the semester you are abroad and for the semester you return to Middlebury. Be sure to have your program or university complete a consortium agreement. ✓Take care of any outstanding financial matters at Middlebury. If you do not take care of these matters you will not be able to register for courses for the semester you return to Middlebury. ✓If you have plans to change your major and have not yet declared the change, be sure to take care of this with the Registrar’s Office. Failing to declare your major will cause problems with your course registration for the semester you return. ✓If you are not a U.S. citizen, check with the International Student & Scholar Services to ensure your visa and other immigration papers are in order.
