IFSA-Butler sends a predeparture email series to all students and their parents. These Predeparture Essentials emails contain important information about group flights, orientation, passports, visas and more. The final Predeparture Essentials is printed and sent to the student's permanent home address approximately two weeks before departure, often accompanied by important immigration paperwork.

For convenience we have put web versions of our Predeparture Essentials updates below. The Predeparture Essentials linked below are for fall and semester 2 2013.
