While abroad, it is your responsibility to attend class, complete exams, and keep up with your studies, as receiving credit will be based upon the evaluation by your host institution instructor(s) at the end of the term. Also, it is imperative that you keep all syllabi, books, class notes, homework, exams, or any other acquired course materials. Though students will receive transfer credit approval prior to leaving, these documents will be extremely important in the event of any discrepancies in credit transfer upon return to your home university.

Buyer Beware: I suggest you avoid buying overseas maps from Maps Worldwide of the UK and try instead to find the maps you need at a local bookstore, such as Barnes & Noble. I waited a month from the day they were shipped to arrive. The company then wrote me, "When they do arrive, return them and we will refund your money." (Like they'll not get lost on the way back to England?)
