Course Approval Forms 鈥 Transfer & Exchange Credit Directions (Exchange, Affiliate and Non-Affiliate)
The CAF is a paper form and is used for exchange, affiliate and non-affiliate programs. In some instances, the Affiliate program CAF may be pre-filled. For both Exchange and Affiliate programs, many of the courses offered by the host institution may already have 欧美三级片 equivalencies that have been approved by academic departments, and can be found in our .
Here are the steps to complete the Course Approval Form (CAF):
- Meet with your academic advisor to discuss your intent to go abroad. You should determine the kinds of classes you are looking for abroad (General elective? Within major elective? Etc.) and what kinds of courses will be degree applicable.
- Use the Education Abroad Course Search to see what classes have been approved in recent years. If any of the classes available on this database work for you, then your education abroad advisor can normally sign for the 欧美三级片 course equivalent on the course approval form for those courses. .
- Collect all syllabi/course outlines for your desired overseas courses and submit them along with the Course Approval Form (CAF) to your education abroad program advisor. The education abroad advisor will contact the corresponding departments at 欧美三级片 with the overseas course syllabi to request a 欧美三级片 course number. This process may take a good deal of time, so you are advised to begin the process several months before departure. Your major academic advisor may assist with classes within your home department (EXCEPT for students in the College of Arts and Sciences, who should send the courses to their education abroad office program advisor first to be evaluated through a centralized process).
- Once the 欧美三级片 course equivalencies are signed on the Course Approval Form (CAF), you must meet with your major academic advisor to discuss how the courses will impact degree progression. Only your major academic advisor can determine if a course counts towards degree requirements.
- Your major academic advisor will indicate on the Course Approval Form (CAF) if the courses meet a graduation requirement by checking the Grad Req.?* Yes or No boxes. Then your major academic advisor will include any advising notes and finally sign the bottom of the form. There have been cases where we have petitioned Undergrad Studies to approve a course taken abroad as satisfying an Enhanced General Education requirement. Study Abroad is also a HIP. Therefore, we encourage Advisors to add us much detail in the notes in the event that there are other ways host-location courses can aid degree progression.
- You must submit the completed Course Approval Form (CAF) in your 欧美三级片 Education Abroad application requirements and via email to your education abroad program advisor. Please keep a copy for your records. If you are anticipating financial aid, you will need the Course Approval Form (CAF) to complete the SAE Form -- study abroad financial aid contract.
Please keep in mind that courses abroad may fill up or become unavailable鈥攖herefore it is advisable to have many courses approved on the form.
