IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT GRADUATION

If your semester abroad is your last semester of college, you will not be able to graduate until one semester later.

For example, if you study abroad in the Fall, you will not be able to graduate until the Spring because it takes us a while to receive your transcript.
