Returning to SIU

Main Content

Whether you are gone for two weeks or two semesters, there are a variety of ways you can use your experience and re-adjust to being back home. First, make sure that Study Abroad Programs has your up-to-date contact information. Second, please stop by our office to share your experience. We are always glad to hear from you.

Transcripts

Transcripts will be sent by your host university or program to SIU Study Abroad Programs. We will contact you to verify that the information is accurate so it is critical that we have your current e-mail address. Once it is verified, or if we do not get a response, we will forward the information to the Registrar to be added to your transcript. SIU faculty-led programs and exchanges are considered as SIU credit; all others will be transfer credit.
