Budget Sheet Templates
In the post-acceptance phase of GoAbroad, depending on your study abroad program and financial aid package, you may be required to make a budget sheet and bring it to Student Financial Services. SFS will contact you at your UVM email address to tell you if they need a budget sheet from you.
- If you are participating in an Exchange, ISEP Direct, UVM Semester, or Direct-Enroll program, OIE will make your budget sheet for you and will email it to you when it is ready.
- If you are participating in an External program run by a program provider, you will make your own budget sheet using one of the templates below. You can find guidance for completing your budget sheet here. If you have questions while you are creating your budget sheet, you can stop in to a Budget Sheet Help Session, offered several times each semester (see our Calendar to find out when the next Budget Sheet Help Session is).
- Budget sheet template for semester or academic year-long external programs (PDF)
- note: if you are completing two consecutive semesters on two different study abroad programs, you will need to make two different budget sheets using the semester-long template above instead of using the academic year-long template.
- Budget sheet for ROUND RIVER study abroad programs (PDF)
- these programs have a different list of requirements so have their own budget sheet template

If you are required to bring a budget sheet to Student Financial Services, you will meet with a SFS advisor and go over how your specific financial aid package will fit into your study abroad plans. To find out more about how financial aid is affected by study abroad and what forms of aid are applicable to which types of programs, please see our Finances page.
Study Abroad Course Planning Worksheet
The Study Abroad Course Planning Worksheet (Word) should be completed by students after they have been accepted into their program, but before they meet with their academic advisor for final approval to study abroad.
Faculty/Staff Advisor Study Abroad Approval Forms (for students in post-acceptance phase of GoAbroad)

The Study Abroad Pre-Departure Guidebook
All students studying abroad through the Office of International Education must read the Study Abroad Pre-Departure Guidebook. It is a comprehensive guide broken into eight sections, and is designed to prepare you to have a successful study abroad experience. In GoAbroad's post-acceptance checklist, students are required to sign a document stating that they have read it in full. They will also be required to take a quiz that covers its contents, and must pass with a 92% or better in order to study abroad.
