Information to Leave with Your Parents or Guardians While You are Studying Abroad

  • The name, address, phone number, fax and email address of the program director in the United States, if there is one, and the program director on site. If you are going through another university or college in the United States (Sweet Briar College, Wellesley College, etc), please ask your parents to call the US director first, whenever possible.
  • The address, phone number, fax and email of the resident director or housing warden. Your personal address, phone number, email, etc. Nota bene: In some programs, your mailing address will be different from your residence.
  • The name, address, phone, and fax number of key people at Haverford College, such as the Dean’s Office, Housing Office, Registrar, Business Office, Financial Aid Office, and your Academic Advisor, etc, in case your parents need to contact us directly about issues of concern.
  • Be sure to leave a copy of your personal information, including but not limited to social security number, passport, visa, the numbers of your traveler’s checks, ATM/credit cards, etc with your parents or guardians. You will also need to keep a record of these numbers with you (but not in the same place as your originals). With these measures, if traveler’s checks or passports are lost or stolen they can easily be replaced. Don’t forget to obtain the 24 hour phone number where you can report lost or stolen credit cards.
  • As soon as you arrive, please call home. Your parents will worry about you. Let them know that you have arrived safely.
  • Please be sure to let your parents or guardians know, well in advance, when and on what flight you will be returning home.
