• It is your responsibility once you return from your study abroad experience to come into the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures’ office (Radford Hall 315) with information to complete your Certificate of Residency form.
• At this point to complete your Certificate of Residency form, you need to come into the DFLL departmental office bringing the following information:

1. Your name
2. Your social security number
3. Your student ID number
4. The language you studied
5. The location of your study
6. The date you left
7. and the date you returned

• Processing the form is very quick for those who take part in our campus study abroad programs, because the faculty who led the program verifies their participation and signs the form along with our chair's signature.
• For those of you who go through other campuses, or have done your study abroad on your own, you will need to complete a Transfer Credit Prior Approval form before you leave the country,
• And then, a transcript from the school you attended must be sent to the transfer student coordinator in our Admissions Office where an officer will match your transcript with the Transfer Credit Prior Approval form and assigns the credits.
• After the credits have been applied to your unofficial transcript you may then proceed with your Certificate of Residency form (see above).
• After you have completed your Certificate of Residency form, the program assistant for the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures will forward your Certificate of Residency form to the COEHS credit examiner, who will then input that task as being done on the student's STAR
• All of these steps must be completed prior to student teaching!
