Instructions for Student and Adviser
1. Compare available course descriptions from
exchange institution with courses at home institution that fulfill major requirements.
2. Where possible list these courses and their
home institution equivalents in the appropriate slots. Include as many alternates
as possible because there are often unforeseen changes in registration plans
due to inadequate information, canceled classes, or prerequisite problems.
3. Students MUST bring back copies of all syllabi,
written work, papers, projects, and exams from the exchange institution so that
academic work can be evaluated.
4. Students will be registered for study abroad
credits by CIP while away, and grades will be recorded as incompletes until
work can be evaluated by relevant academic departments. Once students return
and transcripts arrive at the CIP from the exchange institution, students must
meet with their department heads, who will produce memoranda listing the home
institution equivalents and grades students should receive for their work. The
memoranda should be sent to the Center for International Programs, which will
send paperwork to the Registrar necessary to delete the generic courses and
replace them with equivalents and letter grades.
5. A successful exchange experience requires
FLEXIBILITY on the part of both student and academic adviser. Please expect
the unexpected and understand that a degree of uncertainty is a facet of study
abroad.
