Note: Official transcripts will not be released if you have a university financial liability of $500 or more, or if there are any defaulted student loans or other holds on your account.
Important Departure Procedures and Documents:
Before leaving FIU, all exchange students must attend a mandatory farewell meeting organized by the OEA. The date and time will be scheduled after your arrival at FIU. During this meeting, you will receive very important instructions and documents for your departure.
One of these important documents is Tax Form 8843. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires anyone who has been in the U.S. for an extended period to complete and mail Tax Form 8843. Detailed instructions will be provided during the farewell meeting. Please note that completing this form does not imply you owe taxes to the U.S. government.
Ensure all financial and conduct matters at FIU are resolved before your departure. Failure to clear any holds on your account may prevent the release of your transcript to your home university.
Issues and Concerns: If you encounter any academic issues or have concerns after completing your exchange term, please contact the FIU Office of Education Abroad at inboundise@fiu.edu or at +1(305)348-1913.
We hope your time at FIU was unforgettable! You are always welcome to visit us again!
