Study Abroad Pre-departure Information for Students

GRADUATION

You must apply for graduation prior to departure from TU if the due date occurs during your absence from campus. Follow the checklist below and call the Graduation Office at 410-704-2095 if you have additional questions.

• Apply for graduation before you depart if the due date occurs during your absence from campus. You must apply at least 6-8 months before the date of graduation.

• Review your junior audit with your academic adviser before departure to be certain that you will meet all degree requirements for your intended graduation date.

• If you will be returning to TU for your final semester, prepare your course schedule and have it reviewed and approved by your academic adviser prior to departure.

• If you will be graduating within one year of your study abroad experience, you must email an official verification of your enrollment abroad (course titles and equivalent U.S. credit hours) to Cecilia Deems in the TU Registrar’s Office once your schedule is finalized.

• Ask your host institution program to release your transcript as soon as possible upon completion of your studies overseas and have it sent to the TU Study Abroad Office. If your overseas transcript(s) will be arriving more than 6 weeks after the graduation date for which you applied, you may need to defer your graduation until the following semester.
