FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. Do I need a Power of Attorney while I am studying abroad
The TU Study Abroad Office recommends that all students studying abroad select a person to take
care of their financial affairs while they are out of the country. This is done by assigning a Power
of Attorney. Some instances when a Power of Attorney may be necessary are:
a. to receive checks made payable to you for educational expenses
b. to sign and deposit checks made payable to you
c. to handle issues related to your financial assistance
d. to access information in your student account and/or financial assistance files

2. What are the steps to assigning a Power of Attorney
Assigning Power of Attorney is a legal process that involves the drafting of a document which

of Attorney fill out the attached form and then have your signature notarized. Note: the Power of
Attorney document must be signed by you in the presence of a Notary Public.

A Notary Public is a person who has been designated by the government to confirm that a
document is legal. Most banks and post offices provide this service. You can find a Notary Public

acquaintance is NOT recommended. University staff, including the TU Study Abroad staff, may not
act on your behalf. Always ask the individual before appointing them as your Power of Attorney.
