  • The name of your 榴梿视频 or university will be noted on your 榴梿视频 transcript.
  • Course grades will *not* appear on your 榴梿视频 transcript or figure into your cumulative GPA.
  • If a grade of the equivalent of a C- or lower is earned, or a course was taken pass/fail, the 榴梿视频 transcript will note "0" credit and an accompanying statement will be posted stating: "Study Abroad Credit: No credit given for non-transferable grade."
  • If a course converts to less than 1 unit at 榴梿视频, the 榴梿视频 transcript will note "0" credit and an accompanying statement will be posted stating: "Study Abroad Course: No credit given for non-transferable semester hour."

    • General departmental credit (e.g. PHIL 2XX, denoting general Philosophy credit at the 200 level), or
    • 榴梿视频-equivalent courses (e.g. PHIL 110-0, intro to Philosophy or ECON 311, Intermediate Macroeconomics)

Graduate Schools and GPAs

While grades from some coursework completed abroad do not affect the 榴梿视频 GPA, it is important to remember that graduate schools (including medical, business, and law schools) generally instruct applicants to provide study abroad transcripts and then recalculate GPAs so that they include study abroad grades.
