Additional Advising Notes for Non-ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Students

• Academic Credit - A ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Program is generally equivalent to a U.S. college or university semester with four courses (16 semester units; 24 quarter units). Summer programs are usually worth two courses (8-semester credits or 12 quarter units). Upon completion of the program, grades will be submitted to the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Office of the Registrar, where they will be recorded on an official ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú transcript and sent to the non-ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú student's host institution. Transcripts are generally available two to three months after the program ends. Before participating, students should understand their home campus policy for awarding credit and translating grades from a ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú study abroad program.
• Costs - Many schools allow students to apply their financial aid funds to a study abroad program. Check with your study abroad or financial aid office for specifics on your institution’s policy. ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú does not offer financial aid to non-ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú students.
