Checklist

• Send Us Your Phone Number
  When you arrive abroad and secure your (required) cell phone, please email ravery [at] haverford.edu (Rebecca Avery) your abroad contact information so that we can reach you in the event of an emergency.
• Share Your Social Media Accounts
  Contact the study abroad office to sign up for an Instagram takeover (@fordsabroad).
• Connect with Current Fords Abroad
  Need a list of the students currently abroad? Please contact the study abroad office.
• Pre-register for Courses
  If you will be returning to Haverford for the following semester, you are expected to pre-register for courses in the same way you do while on campus. Follow the instructions to pre-register sent to you by the Registrar in April and in November.
• Request a Transcript from Your Program
  Upon completion of their studies, students should arrange to have a transcript sent to the Director of Study Abroad. It is easiest to order the transcript prior to departure. More on requesting a transcript »
• Apply for a Library Carrel
  If you are interested in having a library carrel for when you return to Haverford, you must fill out an application for one, available from Magill Circulation Desk, before you leave campus. Demand for carrels is high, so if you don’t apply for one until you return, there will likely not be one available.
• Name a Room Draw Proxy
  Students studying abroad usually have a proxy (another student, who is currently on campus) who participates in Room Draw in April on their behalf. There are two forms on the Residential Life website: one to name a proxy and the other for a proxy to accept their role. Follow their instructions.
• Don't Forget to Vote
  All information about absentee ballots and voting in the US elections while abroad can be found on the Federal Voting Assistance Program site.
