Semester Abroad Checklist

A comprehensive checklist for a semester abroad—documents, admin prep, banking, housing, health, tech, academics, and the essentials to settle in smoothly.

This checklist covers the essential administrative, financial, and practical items you’ll need to prepare for a full semester abroad. Make copies of important documents and plan ahead for banking and health coverage.

Tips

  • Start from the default list, then remove anything you don’t need for this trip.
  • Keep your must-haves (documents, meds, chargers) in your carry-on/day bag.
