Direct Exchange Student Handbook
Congratulations on choosing the most challenging study abroad program out there–the Direct International Exchange. You will be responsible for most of the preparation and planning process of your exchange, unlike your peers who have the IP and USAC home offices supplying them with pre-departure support. However, the benefits you receive from this full immersion opportunity will make all of the extra work worth the effort!
Please print out the Exchange Student Handbook and read it very carefully. This handbook will provide you with valuable information on planning for your semester or year abroad.

- Independent
- Autonomous
- Self-sufficient
- K (c)apable of dealing with ambiguity.
