Study Abroad Opportunities Study Abroad 101 The Study Abroad 101 is a pre-advising session that all UA students (not applicable to non-UA students) must attend prior to meeting with a study abroad coordinator. Please do not make an appointment with a coordinator until you have attended a session. The 101 session is offered three times a week and it is mandatory that all students interested in studying abroad attend one of these sessions before applying. Please bring your CatCard, as this is how attendance is recorded. It is important that students arrive on time. Due to the volume of information included in each session, the doors will close after the designated start time. In each Study Abroad 101 session, Renee Griggs, our Student Services Coordinator, will show students how to manage their financial aid to fund study abroad. If you have any questions, please contact our front desk at 520-626-9211.
Sessions will resume on Thursday, January 15th. Day
