Academic Points of Note

• Business courses will count toward your MBA (X530: Overseas Business Study)

• Grades earned while on exchange will be averaged for your final X530 grade

• Plan ahead regarding credits• It is best to complete all of your major/minor

requirements prior to leaving (spring exchange participants)

• Check schools for specific credit requirements

Language Concerns?

• Affordable opportunities for language development available through CIBER

• Some partner schools offer language training (note: you cannot receive Kelley credit for such courses)

Housing, Registering for Classes, Visas, etc…• Partner school’s exchange coordinator will assist you in planning• Partner school will be able to assist you with housing• Coordinators will be able to help you navigate through the process

of registering for classes• Coordinators should be able to provide basic guidance to students

with questions about visas, etc, but ultimately it is your responsibility to make sure you’ve got everything you need to go on exchange– Many countries require that students obtain a student visa– For some countries, U.S. citizens are not required to apply for

a student visa if their stay in the country will be less than 90 days

– If you need a visa, please allow adequate time for processing

Health Insurance• Many schools require you to show proof of medical

coverage; make sure you are covered• Some schools require you to purchase local medical

coverage, regardless of your coverage at home• Make sure that your health plan has “medical

evacuation and repatriation” coverage– If it doesn’t, you can obtain inexpensive

supplemental coverage through the IU Office of Overseas Study or elsewhere

Financial Aid• Additional financial aid to cover study abroad

may be available; see Tim Smith for more details

• If you are a GA, talk with your supervisor and Tim Smith to determine if you can arrange to study abroad and still receive your fee remission

Choosing a School

• Look at the program dates• Consider any potential language issues• Program strengths, reputation, etc. (see their

website)• Talk to students who have been there or who

are there now• Talk to current exchange students from those

schools, if possible
