Confirmation Checklist

Follow this checklist to confirm your place in the program.

Note: If you plan to use financial aid (loans, grants, scholarships) to cover costs for your study abroad experience, you are encouraged to schedule a financial aid preview meeting prior to submitting your confirmation deposit.

Review the Registration and Billing instructions to access your financial aid

Print & submit materials to the Learning Abroad Center by the date indicated on your acceptance email:

  • Copy of your acceptance letter or email from Morris (as soon as you receive it)

Print & submit materials to the Learning Abroad Center prior to departure:

Passport & Visa: All students must have a valid passport to participate in this program

  • If you already have a passport, make sure that it is valid for the duration of the program, as well as up to six months after your return
  • If you do not have a passport, apply for one as soon as possible; go to Travel Documents for more information
  • You will receive more detailed visa information later in the process

Registration
Once we have received confirmation from Morris of your participation on this program, the Learning Abroad Center will set up a multi-U plan on your student record to enable you to be registered for your study abroad courses at the University of Minnesota-Morris. These courses appear on your University of Minnesota-Twin Cities transcript and enable financial aid (if applicable) to be disbursed based on your credit load. Credit is University of Minnesota resident credit for all programs except exchanges.

Billing
You will be billed by Morris. A second student billing account will be set up for you on the Morris campus. Contact Morris at least one month prior to departure for more details about accessing this account to pay your bill. No fees are due to the Learning Abroad Center. Read the UM System Registration and Billing web page.
