Study Abroad Process Map
Process Details
Step 1: View Information Session Video
Step 2: Review Program Options
Research your program options online or in the UND Study Abroad program catalog
Step 3: Meet with your Academic Advisor
After reviewing the different program options, you should meet with your Academic Advisor, inform them that you are considering studying abroad and discuss when would be the best semester to study abroad. Below is a list of questions to ask your Academic Advisor
Questions to Ask
What degree requirements do I have left to complete?
What major/minor requirements do I have left to complete?
Are there particular requirements you recommend I should/should not try to complete abroad?
What are they? When are they offered?
Pay attention to which semester particular classes are offered, if they are only offered in the Spring and your Advisor recommends taking this class on campus, maybe the Fall semester is a better semester for you to study abroad, or maybe you take that class this Spring and then study abroad next Spring etc.
I would like to fulfill essential studies requirements while abroad. What do I have left to complete?
When will I be ready to graduate?
My study abroad program will earn transfer credit. How does that affect my academic planning?
If I get abroad and I can’t take these classes, may I email you for guidance in making alternative choices?
What do I need to do to follow up with you when I return?

Step 7: Admission Decisions
Typically students will receive two acceptance notifications, one from UND by email and the other from the program.

Step 10: Transcript Evaluation and Welcome Back
The UND Registrar’s office treats credits from Study Abroad as transfer credits and follows the transfer credit policy outline in the UND Academic Catalog. Transcripts issued by a U.S. accredited institution will be evaluated by UND Registrar’s office. Transcripts issued by a non U.S.- institution require a third-party transcript evaluation. Please check with an Education Abroad Advisor for more information.
