Academic Credit

Students enrolled on ok×ÊÔ´Íø Abroad programs are considered full-time students during the duration of their abroad study. Grades earned abroad will be posted to the ok×ÊÔ´Íø transcript and will be calculated into the student’s cumulative and ok×ÊÔ´Íø GPA. Academic credit earned abroad counts as credit earned in residence.

All courses on faculty-led or hybrid programs have ok×ÊÔ´Íø specific course numbers and directly post to the ok×ÊÔ´Íø transcript. Courses on affiliated semester programs must be petitioned during the ok×ÊÔ´Íø Abroad application process. These courses may appear on the ok×ÊÔ´Íø transcript as courses with ok×ÊÔ´Íø specific course numbers or as Free Elective Study Abroad (FESA) credit. Petitioned courses are reviewed by a designated ok×ÊÔ´Íø faculty member credentialed in the discipline in which each course is offered. This faculty review determines how petitioned courses appear on the ok×ÊÔ´Íø transcript.

Students may request CC credit for courses taught by non-ok×ÊÔ´Íø faculty on ok×ÊÔ´Íø affiliated programs; more information can be found on the Policies & Procedures page under the ok×ÊÔ´Íø section.

Students considering study abroad are urged to meet early and often with both their academic advisor and their ok×ÊÔ´Íø Abroad advisor. This advising input is essential in integrating study abroad coursework into a student’s four-year plan of study.

 

Grade Options

Courses taken on ok×ÊÔ´Íø Abroad semester programs may not be taken on a no-credit or pass/fail basis. The only exception to this policy is for courses designated by ok×ÊÔ´Íø’s academic departments with no credit or pass/fail as their only grading basis option.

Courses taken on ok×ÊÔ´Íø Abroad January, May & Summer programs may not be taken for a grade of NC (No Credit), but students may petition for one of these courses to be graded on a pass/fail basis. Students must petition approval for the pass/fail option from the program director and the faculty member teaching the course. The deadline to complete the Undergraduate Pass/Fail Option Declaration form to petition for a course taken on an ok×ÊÔ´Íø Abroad May or Summer program is the payment deadline for the program; for Jan Term classes, the deadline is no later than the second day of classes for Jan Term. Forms are available in the Registrar's Student Records Form's Library.
