Next Steps
Acceptance
Once you receive your acceptance letter, it is your responsibility to submit the materials your program requires to CONFIRM your acceptance.
Foreign Credit Transfer Form
Students must complete and submit a Foreign Credit Transfer Form. This form is used to have your study abroad courses approved for transfer credit. Meet with your academic advisor and decide which course to take and determine how you want the courses to transfer. Courses can transfer in as a UMW equivalent, major elective credit, or elective credit. In order for a course to transfer in as a UMW equivalent or major elective credit, students must get approval from the appropriate department chair. IAS can approve courses for elective credit. Students must get their courses approved for transfer PRIOR to going abroad.
Course Registration "Wish List"
Students will need to register for courses during advance registration. IAS will remind students to register for courses during advance registration, and each student is responsible for their own registration. If, however, you are unable to register for courses during your registration period, IAS can register you in your courses if you complete and submit a Course Registration form.
Notification to Residence Life
Students must submit a Notification to Residence Life form when they study abroad.
Financial Aid
All financial aid arrangements should be made with the Office of Financial Aid. In order to apply for financial aid, students must submit an official acceptance letter, an estimated cost of the program verified by the program provider, program dates, and the foreign credit transfer form.
Course Cancellation
If you registered in courses as a back up, you must cancel those courses before you leave for your study abroad program. Students can pick up a Course Cancellation form at the Registrar's Office, or submit a request, in writing, to the Registrar's Office (Attn: Gail Stevens, Fax # 540-654-2145).
Degree Application
Students with 58 or more credit hours should complete and submit the Undergraduate Degree Application to the Registrar.
