Important Reminders from UC Davis Study Abroad

• Before going abroad, it is always a good idea to consult with your major advisor about your study abroad plans. For some programs, such as UCEAP, you are required to meet with your major advisor as part of the application process. You may be able to fulfill many major requirements while abroad so it’s recommended, and sometimes mandatory, to create an academic plan with your major advisor while applying for a particular study abroad program.
• While abroad, you may need to remain in contact with your major advisor for academic advising regarding specific courses.
• Be sure to keep all course descriptions and syllabi!
• When you return, see your major advisor as needed.
• Talk with your major advisor about major-specific ways you can engage with our global campus, such as globally focused courses.
• Visit the Global Learning Hub website at globallearning.ucdavis.edu to learn more about programs, resources, and ways to get involved.
