Before Your Travel

If your are a graduate student

There is no need to fill the permission to be absent from campus. Quoting Emily Crider:

> Since your travel is for academic purposes related to your AU studies, you do not need to complete the permission to be absent from campus form. 
> This request is done through the Travel Authorization form which you will need to work with your department to complete, if you have not already done so. 

If your are traveling outside the US

AU Forms and Procedures

Misc.

  • You may want to verify that you can use your phone, this guide covers all the options that you may want to explore.
  • If your phone plan does not contain any “roaming”, consider adding some, and try preparing your phone as if you could not access the internet anymore:
    • Download pdfs of or print all the important documents you may need (plane ticket, registration, visa forms, …),
    • Download maps, using for example Magic Earth,
    • If possible, make sure you can connect to eduroam, or at least review the instructions for AU personnel.
  • Check if you need an adaptater plug for your electrical devices.
  • Of course, check the visa & passport requirements (and, if you are not a US citizen, that you will be able to re-enter the country).
