Students should work with their academic advisor when reviewing the module options to identify modules that will further them in their IUPUI degree. Students should identify backup modules, too, in case the first choice modules are not available during their semester abroad.

- HousingThe expectation is that students will live in one of Newcastle University's accommodations; however, because this exchange is only a semester long, IUPUI students cannot be guaranteed university accommodation. Students who are unable to secure university accommodation have the option finding a private-rented accommodation elsewhere in the city.
