Pre-departure orientation: You are exempted!

A note from Robert Carlin, Office of International Programs.
Dear Student:
Many of you are still waiting for final confirmations of your
placements for study abroad. We hope to have positive news in the
next few weeks. In the meantime, it is important that you take a
moment and complete our MANDATORY pre-departure orientation by November 16, 2009. ALL
SDSU students going abroad regardless of program (SDSU or otherwise). The test is not difficult but does require that you READ the materials outlined in online prompts. You cannot move forward on the exam until you answer the question correctly.

For those students taking the SDSU EDTEC 350 Going Global class, you will need to download a copy of your current registration from Webportal and bring it to the Ed. Abroad Office at the ISC to be exempt from taking this test. Nevertheless, you may find this quiz quite helpful in your preparations for study abroad so do feel free to participate.

Please note: Students who do not complete the online orientation by the due date below, will be prevented from receiving credit for their program abroad, a "HOLD" will be placed on their request for SDSU transcripts and will be prevented from registering here at SDSU the following semester.

Finally, to insure that you turn in all required documents to SDSU by November 30, 2009 please make sure to check both Page 1 and 2 of your study abroad checklists. You will find these and our "Accepted Students" section helpful in preparation for visa requirements, insurance requirements etc. http://www.isc.sdsu.edu/study_abroad/accepted.html
