PRE-DEPARTURE ESSENTIALS

Orientation Slides

Readings

All semester participants are required to read two chapters from Don DeGraff’s book, “There and Back Again: Living and Learning Abroad.” These readings will be the framework for our discussions during our 4th orientation session.

Flight Information

All summer groups will be departing from DFW on their scheduled departure time/day. Students are responsible for their transportation to and from DFW on their departure and return dates. All first-leg departing flights are highlighted. Make sure you arrive at your scheduled DFW terminal at least 3 hours in advance of your flight.

Note that ALL flight deviations (before or after travel) must be requested 45 days before the original flight departure date. Once the arrival leg of a flight has been used passengers are not allowed to change any aspect of their departure date. Please note the flight information below is limited only to ACU Google Drive account holders.

Luggage Information

ACU purchases tickets (economy class) with normal luggage allowances. This typically includes one piece of check-in luggage, one carry-on, and one personal item (small backpack, purse, etc). Please confirm acceptable luggage weights and dimensions with your particular airline in advance of your journey. The buttons below will route you to baggage information for some of ACU’s most common carrier airlines.
