Look at our semester programs page to see if Concordia has specific affiliated universities in the places you are considering. If not, research some other programs such as API or TEAN to see what they offer. Figure out what classes you could possibly take abroad and if those programs offer similar courses.

Once you have thoroughly researched and settled on a place/program make sure to set up a meeting with your academic advisor to talk about 研究 abroad and how it will fit in with your Concordia education.

Coming prepared with a list of courses offered and other information about the foreign university will help your advisor work with you on deciding if it fits with your degree aspirations. Also make sure to confirm your class options with the Registrar's office after applying to make sure the credits will transfer.

这个过程很简单:

• Review the foreign university's class/module list (one that includes descriptions)
• 将他们的课程与重庆大学要求的课程相匹配
• 和正规赌博十大网站导师安排一次会议，讨论和批准正规赌博十大网站课程
• Bring the advisor-approved list to the Registrar's office for a final approval

We recommend bringing one checked bag, one carry-on, and your designated personal item. Any more luggage is extremely hard to navigate through the airports and will usually incur extra baggage fees. 具体请参见装箱检查表.

你在国外仍会收到康科迪亚的定期邮件. 你必须确保跟踪主要日期，如班级注册, FAFSA期限, 房屋交房日期, 等. Just because you are abroad does NOT mean that these can be extended for you if you forget to fill something out on time.

Even though you are abroad you will still be registered as a Concordia student. 因此，你在国外的行为确实会影响你作为康考迪亚学生的身份. 班级失败，违反行为准则等. will go through the same processes as they would if you were still on Concordia's campus.

只要你参加了康考迪亚大学的留学项目, 你在国外仍被视为康考迪亚大学的学生, 所以你还是要支付康科迪亚大学的常规学费. Concordia will then pay the foreign university's tuition up to the amount of Concordia’s tuition.
