Information for Accepted Students

Congratulations!

 
You’ve been accepted to participate in an education abroad program through The Catholic University of America and will soon be on your way to the adventure of a lifetime! Whether your program is for a few days over the Spring Break or for an entire academic year, the experience will be valuable to you for years to come.
 
You don’t want to get to your destination and find that you’ve forgotten something important. We’ve written this handbook so you would know what to do to get ready and what to do once you’ve arrived. Make sure you read the whole thing so you don’t miss any vital pieces of advice. You’ll enjoy your time abroad much more if you’re prepared. In addition to information contained in this handbook and which is applicable to all students who participate in education programs, you will also be provided with information regarding the specific program either by CUAbroad or another department or another US or international university. Please be sure to read and follow advice provided to you to make the transition as smooth as possible.
 
Congratulations again on your decision to participate in an education abroad experience and on your acceptance into a Catholic University of America education abroad program.
 
Sincerely,
 
The CUAbroad Staff
