Required Forms and Information

Download Required Forms Packet (Coming Soon)

The following forms are included in the Required Forms Packet and are necessary to confirm your participation on any global studies program:

  • Assumption of Risk and Release Form
    A standard release, which includes an authorization for medical treatment if necessary.
  • Health Disclosure Form
    Medical history and pertinent information disclosed by you. Disclosure of said information remains confidential and allows us to assist with your health and safety abroad.
  • Passport Copy
    In addition to the required forms, we will also need a copy of the photograph and signature pages of your passport. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after your program ends. We use this to help you in the unlikely event that your passport is lost or stolen while abroad. 
     
  • Visa Copy
    Students who need to obtain visas to study abroad, must submit a copy to the Office of Global Studies before departing. Like your passport copy, it will be important to have a copy of your visa on file in case your passport is lost or stolen while abroad.
     
  • Update Emergency Contact Information
     Students must update their emergency contact information on their UIS account as part of the pre-departure process. To do so, please follow these instructions:
    • Log in to UIS
    • Select the "Personal Information" Tab
    • Click "View/Update Emergency Contacts"
    • Make any required changes


Required Online Surveys

In addition to the Required Forms packet, each student must complete two online surveys:

  • Roommate Questionnaire Survey
    This survey will help us to place you with a suitable roommate. If there is someone that you already know you would like to live with, please indicate that on the form, as well.
  • Flight Itinerary Survey
    Provide us with your flight information so that we know when to expect your arrival.

Links to the surveys will be emailed directly to you by February 15, or after you submit your Confirmation Form.
