学术计划 for Studying Abroad

A benefit of studying abroad is earning credits towards graduation. Depending on the education abroad program you choose, the credits you earn abroad may take some time to be posted onto your St. 云状态记录.

学术批准表格

Upon beginning an application for a semester-long education abroad program, meet with your academic advisor in order to complete the 学术批准表格. Although course schedules may change upon arrival to your host university, planning ahead helps keep students on track towards their degrees.

如何开始?

  1. 发现课程
    • 下载正确表格(PDF)
    • Find the courses that you want to take while abroad. 
      • 访问 the website of your host university. Some universities will post a list of courses offered during the current or upcoming semester. If you are not sure where to find the website, connect with your program manager in the 国外的教育 office. 
      • 访问 the 国外的教育 website and click on your program. Depending on which program you choose, there may already be course equivalencies worked out with Advising and Student Transitions. For example, students who plan to study at Southern Cross University in 澳大利亚 can find a list of course equivalencies on the 国外的教育 website
      • 发现课程 by visiting the 国外的教育 office. 工作人员 will provide a list of courses students have taken in the past through your program. Courses are not final until registered for courses through your host university.
  2. Identify five to seven courses that fit your academic track and/or are of interest to you
    • 查找课程描述. Most of the partner websites will have this available
    • If a syllabus is available online, bring the syllabus to your advising appointment
  3. Make an appointment with your academic advisor.
    • Bring as much information as possible about your education abroad program and the courses you plan on taking while abroad
    • You may need to meet with more than one advisor depending on your academic plans. For example if the courses you are planning to take abroad are for your major then those courses must be approved by your major advisor but if you are planning to take goal areas (LEPs) then those can also be approved by the Advising and Student Transitions office. 
  4. Scan the completed 学术批准表格 and upload it to your online education abroad application.

记录过程

Students planning to graduate right after their semester abroad are asked to notify their program manager in 国外的教育. Depending on the program abroad selected, graduation could be delayed until all credits are officially placed onto the St. 云状态记录.

项目类型

学期项目

Students completing a semester-long program will earn credits for their degree at St. 云州. Each program abroad will depend on how the credits transfer back but often require an official transcript from the host institution. On average, it can take anywhere from 2-4 months to receive the official transcript from abroad. Until an official transcript is received, SCSU will not be able to process your courses. 

When the 国际研究中心 receives your transcript and the courses are placed onto your degree, students must meet with their academic advisor to make sure the transfer was inputted correctly. There are many academic units involved in the transcript process; this means it can take up to 2-4 additional months for the credits completed abroad to be processed and placed onto your St. 云状态记录. Once the credits are placed onto your St. 云州 academic records, they will show up as Pass/Fail (S/U).

短期课程

由St. 云州 faculty, students will enroll directly in a St. 云州电子服务课程. Students will not receive a separate transcript for this course. If the program is run through another provider, transcripts can take anywhere from 2-4 months to receive the official transcript. 

Non-St. 云州学生

Registration and Transcripts for Non-SCSU Students

Students from other institutions participating in a St. 云州 program must register as a Special Student. 一旦注册, they may enroll in the appropriate course for the short-term education abroad program. 项目完成后,一名圣. 云状态记录 可以订购.

Students of 明尼苏达州 institutions should register at St. 云州 for their education abroad program unless advised differently. St. 云州 will grant credits that can be transferred to the student’s home university.
