Congratulations on your acceptance to study abroad during the upcoming semester! We are excited to send you off on your global adventures.
All students studying abroad through the Newcomb-Tulane College Office of Study Abroad are required to attend the Pre-Departure Conference in person or complete the Study Abroad Pre-Departure Orientation Canvas Modules online. (Note: once accepted to study abroad, you will be enrolled in this Canvas course.)
The Pre-Departure Conferences occur annually each spring and fall semester to prepare students for their upcoming semester abroad. The conference dates are published on WaveSync and communicated in your study abroad acceptance letter.
All students studying abroad must:
- Attend the three Pre-Departure Orientation Sessions (Date and times on WaveSync):
- The "Ready, Set, Go Abroad!" presentation
- The "Health and Safety Abroad" presentation
- One other Pre-Depature Orientation Session of your choice
- Complete the “Ready, Set, Go!” quiz in the Canvas module by Apr. 1.
- Students who have not completed the quiz and attended a sufficient number of presentations will be withdrawn from study abroad
Students completing the Study Abroad Pre-Departure Orientation online instead of in-person must review all Canvas modules and complete the “Ready, Set, Go Abroad!" quiz.
Please visit your Canvas page for more information about the quiz and other requirements. You will be added to the Canvas page automatically.
