Global Education celebrates the opportunity for international students to study abroad while attending UMass Amherst. 

Here are some things to consider as you think about studying abroad:  

  • Are you studying abroad during your last term? Check with your International Student and Scholar Services Advisor to make sure you remain eligible for post-graduation visa opportunities. 

  • Check your immigration document end dates to make sure your I-20 or DS-2019 doesn’t expire before the end of your program.  

  • Ensure you stay enrolled in your UMass applicable health insurance. 

  • Make sure you have secured a travel signature prior to leaving for your program. 

  • Speak with an Education Abroad Advisor AND your International Student and Scholar Services Advisor about your plans.
