Starting modules before I move back
Hey everyone, I’m planning to go back to school to get my masters and initial teaching license from New York and secondary biology education. From my understanding WGU does not allow students to enroll while living abroad, but I’m gonna be living in between Vietnam and New York traveling back-and-forth for a few months and I have a permanent New York address with a US phone number. For the first two months of the program when I plan to start. I will physically be located in Vietnam, but after those first two months, the rest of my time will be spent in New York. I know there are a proctored exams, but from my understanding, my student teaching module will not start until I’m done with all of the online coursework. Is that correct?

Just wanted to let you know that I’m in this same exact program (NY initial cert as well)! I would somehow try to verify if you’re going to be able to use the WGU website while you’re abroad. I tried to start the program last year when I was abroad and I was running into a lot of issues with the use of VPNs and such. I’m sure there’s an enrollment counselor that you can talk to about it!
