During Your Program

While you’re abroad, consider the following to ensure a smooth transition back to K-State:

Contact Your Academic Advisor

If you are transferring credit back to KSU and have enrolled in any courses not listed on your Academic Approval Form, contact your Academic Advisor to complete a new form.

If you are studying abroad for a semester or year, you may need to contact your Academic Advisor and enroll in KSU classes from abroad for the next semester.

Request Transcripts

Before leaving your host university, be sure you know how to send your transcript to KSU Education Abroad. Many program providers will automatically send a transcript to Education Abroad on your behalf. Exchange and direct enroll programs require that you request your transcript be mailed. We highly recommend that you order copies for yourself as well. Please have an official transcript in English sent to:

Education Abroad
Kansas State University
304 Fairchild Hall
Manhattan, KS 66506 – U.S.A.

Official electronic transcripts can be send to: Abroad@ksu.edu

Voting in U.S. Elections

Although you may not be in the United States, you still have the right and opportunity to vote, provided that you are an American citizen over the age of 18. Be sure to apply for an absentee voter ballot to be mailed to your location overseas.

If you are a resident of Kansas and wish to vote by absentee ballot:

  1. Download an application form, fill it out, and print out a copy.
  2. Address a stamped envelope to the county in which you claim permanent residence (addresses for each of the counties in Kansas are included on the second page of the application form).
  3. Mail your application (standard mail only--not online) so that your county receives your application by the deadline printed on the application. Be sure you are aware of the rules and costs of mailing from your host country by contacting a local post office.

You will then receive an absentee ballot at your overseas address, which you must fill out and mail back to your county of permanent residence. Your county must receive your ballot by no later than the closing of the polls (in Central Standard Time) on Election Day.

If you are a resident of a state other than Kansas and wish to vote by absentee ballot:

  1. Find absentee voter information on the website of your state. The easiest way to do this is to do a web search of your state's name and the term "absentee voting." Every state is different, so you may have to do some research. Most states offer voting information through their Secretaries of State, Boards of Elections, or by county of residence.
  2. Check the deadlines for the absentee ballot application. In some states, this deadline may be very soon, so be careful to apply early.
  3. Download, fill out, and mail the application form(s) to the appropriate agency in your state. You should receive your absentee ballot soon thereafter, which you must fill out and return by a certain date, depending on your state's voting laws.
