Students and scholars are responsible for hotel room reservation and payment.

Responsibilities

Departing Students and GLI Scholars

1) It is your responsibility to know the luggage weight and size limits for domestic and international flights.

• Familiarize yourself with the number of bags allowed as well as the size and shape allowed by the airline, by checking your airline's website.
• The following weblink may be helpful as an introduction and as a planning overview, but always check with your airline(s) directly: Luggage Allowances (Link opens in new window).

Over-packing is a common problem among departing international students and scholars.

• Overweight luggage fees are very expensive!
  
• Departing students and scholars have been known to discard belongings at the airport rather than to pay the fines for excess baggage.
  
• Begin to pack several days in advance, so that you can better assess what you need or should be taking with you.
  
• Ship home whatever does not fit or might make your bags too heavy.

2) Airport Security: Travellers are also responsible for being in compliance with current airport security requirements, and to know what may and what may not be brought onto the aircraft.

• Check the TSA website for information (Look for: "What To Know Before You Go") about what you are permitted to take on board the plane with you: www.tsa.gov (Link opens in new window).

Waiver

Neither UNCP, nor International Programs, or their representatives, agents or delegates (etc.) may be held liable or responsible for missed flights, missed connections or other travel consequences.

• Participation in the transfer program constitutes voluntary recognition and acceptance of the above.
• Travellers are solely responsible for contacting airlines (etc.) in a timely manner in the event of delays or other travel changes.
• Carry travel details and travel provider contact information with you at all times.
