This may particularly affect students traveling for FALL semesters only, as final exams may be scheduled during the beginning of the U.S. SPRING semester. Please review this program’s policy on exam scheduling before committing (many programs will allow you to take exams either early or at UNM). Additionally, note that final transcripts may be delayed from UK schools. If you are graduating within 2 semesters of going abroad, please check with the GEO advisor for this program.

GEO works to provide the most accurate academic information for each program, but please confirm on the host institution website. This is particularly important for program dates, as study abroad students may be asked to arrive early for orientation, language immersion, or other activities.
