Important!..
Once you have arrived at your host university, you will--in most cases--need
to register for courses. Please e-mail the Office of International Studies with
a final list of courses in which you will be enrolled. If your courses differ from
those which had been approved approved prior to your departure, you must receive
the email approval of the appropriate faculty member. Please use our new
email template to compose your course approval request.
 Upon registration overseas,..
please send the OIS the following:
- A list of courses in which you will be enrolled in during the semester.
- Contact information: address, telephone number.
Please be sure to...
register with the
U.S. Embassy while you are living overseas.
How to Register From
Overseas...
While you are overseas, you will need to register for classes for the upcoming
semester at Villanova University. This link will provide you with the instructions
needed for VU on-line registration.
Laptop
Support While Overseas
You are finally settling into your host culture, but it is time to start
thinking about returning to Villanova. Check out the information below to ensure
that your return to campus is a smooth transition.
If you have not done so already, please check with your study abroad advisor
before registering for next semester’s courses, to make sure that your current
study abroad courses are all properly approved. Do this by sending your advisor
the list of courses (including course number) that you are currently enrolled in
for this semester overseas. Courses are properly approved when they are either
listed on your Prior Approval Form, or they have been approved via email
approval by the appropriate department chair. If you need to have a new course
approved that is not listed on your Prior Approval Form, then please use our
Overseas Course Template
Students overseas are expected to register for next semester’s courses
through normal registration procedures during the normal registration period.
Registration times for Spring 2008 will begin on TBA.
You can find your registration time by logging into your Novasis account. All
registration times will be in Eastern Standard Time so please note the time
difference. Due to the differences in time zones and limited access to the
internet at assigned registration times, some students choose to have a friend
or parent register for them. Please be sure to send all pertinent information
(course selection, advisor code and Novasis PIN, etc) to this person well in
advance of your assigned registration time.
To obtain your Advisor Approval Code and advising assistance, please contact
your academic advisor. (Your study abroad advisor does not have access to your
registration pin)
Please note that a 15 credit study abroad (VAB) placeholder course is
currently listed on your academic audit. This "stand-in" course simply keeps you
registered as a full-time student while you are abroad. When the Office of
International Studies receives your transcript from your semester overseas, the
VAB course will be removed and the courses you complete with a grade equivalent
to a ‘C’ or higher will be added to your transcript.
Please contact the Office of International Studies if you have any questions
regarding these procedures.
Extending Study Abroad for a Second Semester...
Are you enjoying your semester so much that you want to extend the experience
to a second semester or summer term? Need to know how to do this from overseas?
It can be done, contact the Office of International Studies; we're ready to assist
you throughout the process.
The most important step you will need to take is to contact the Office of International
Studies at Villanova University. From here you will be able to discuss options and
begin the application process. E-mail makes the application and approval procedures
quite streamlined and efficient. Please remember that the process needs to be started
as early as possible, since the Office of International Studies' deadlines still
apply.
