伟大的工作! You made it through all the paperwork, preparation and travel and now you’re abroad. 你已经克服了时差, 知道怎么上网了, and may have already realized that you packed WAY too much. Don't remember all the things we talked about to help you prepare for your time abroad? No worries: the Canvas course with its modules on academics, cultural adjustment & 沉浸，后勤和健康 & 健康对你来说总是可用的!
Here are some of the highlights, to keep you in touch with UNH and help with any academic issues:
国外的地址
Let us know how to reach you while you’re abroad by listing your foreign contact information in the 国际旅行登记处 and updating your location as you travel.
Courses, Credits, 成绩单及成绩
Do you need to get additional courses approved? Did you forget exactly how the course transfer process works? Not to worry: all the information you need about courses, 学分, transcripts and grades can be found below.
添加或替换课程
If a class you had pre-approved at UNH is no longer offered or you need to change your schedule, you can request that the new class be reviewed for transfer credit by submitting an electronic 留学课程批准表. This form is ONLY for use by students who are currently abroad. Your Global Education Advisor will then contact the appropriate department and keep you posted on the outcome.
学分数
学期-abroad students: you must take the equivalent of at least 12 US 学分 (or more if the program so requires). If you’re not sure how many 学分 you need during your term abroad, make sure to consult your Academic Advisor.
课程策划表格
A copy of the course planning form with all the required signatures is on file with your Dean's Office. This form determines how course 学分 will be accepted by UNH. The exact course credit will be based on the official 研究 abroad transcript once it is received.
成绩单及成绩
Your transcript should be sent to Global Education for processing. 一旦我们收到你的成绩单, we will convert the grades to the US academic system and work with the Registrar’s Office for further processing. Keep in mind that it can take up to three months before we receive your transcript! 也, make sure you have no outstanding debt to your host university or to your program provider--your transcript will not be released until you have paid your balance.

下学期注册
In the 研究 abroad registration phase, you and your Academic Advisor may have discussed how to register for next semester when you are back on campus; either they will email you your RAC number & login day/time, or they will register you for the courses you agreed upon prior to departure. Contact your academic advisor in your major if you have any questions. 记得 采取以下步骤 maintain access to important USNH online resources such as Outlook, 帆布), myWildcat成功, WebCat, 等.
注意安全，身体健康
We want you to thoroughly enjoy your time abroad, and we want you to return to UNH healthy and safely. 检讨联合国 健康与安全 information and work with your program sponsor/host university to ensure your personal 健康与安全. Remember you are a member of the UNH International 旅行援助 Service and Travel 保险计划 and have access to all its resources and support while on a UNH 研究 abroad program.
Making Memories: Think Before You Click
Please be sensitive and respectful when taking pictures in other countries and cultures, especially when you want to take photographs or videos of people who are not your friends and classmates. Reflect on why you're taking the photo. Try to ask permission when taking pictures of people. Getting a person’s name and story as well as his/her photo can be a meaningful experience. Sharing your camera and digital pictures with people encourages interaction. Kids especially like to see themselves on the camera screens. Letting people you meet play with your camera can be a hit, too. Be mindful about captions and how you choose the labels and titles. When possible, give names, details, and a greater context to the photo.
