Managing Your Alumni Information

Overview

After you have returned from your program abroad, you may have the opportunity to list yourself as an alumnus of the program. This feature allows you to tell your story to future applicants of the same program and provides an avenue for them to contact you in order to give peer advice. Not all programs use the Alumni feature-- applicants to those programs will not see the Alumni Information module.
