the majority of study abroad courses approved for credit not have ASC equivalents Department chairs routinely approve non-equivalent study abroad courses for major, minor, standards, or general elective credit within a specific academic discipline b You are not expected to, or responsible for, determining the number of credits for which a course can count This is done by the Dean of Academic Advising upon receipt of the official transcript You need only review course content to determine appropriateness for your department and the content level c Courses from abroad not always have course numbers, or the numbers not always correspond to the same level we would consider in the US For example, many institutions abroad have 3-year degree programs Therefore, a 2nd year course at their institution might be a 200-level or 300-level at Agnes Scott Return the approved form to the student, or if abroad, respond to the student’s email with the appropriate information In some cases, Department Chairs may approve a course, but request the student submit further course information when they register abroad, or request to review the student’s course work when they return to Agnes Scott We encourage dialogue between students and department chairs and/or major advisors to discuss how and why courses chosen will provide a meaningful contribution to their experience abroad, as well as to their academic plan CENTER FOR GLOBAL LEARNING (FOR OFFICE USE ONLY – SIGNED AFTER STUDY ABROAD PROGRAM COMPLETION) Study Abroad Advisor’s Signature: Date: _ Summit -
