Home/Group: Study Abroad

My transcript from my primary university shows that I studied abroad, but it only lists the number of credits received, is this sufficient?

Oct 3, 2018Akiko

If your proof of study abroad does not list all necessary information, your application will not be disqualified.  You can provide a letter from your registrar’s office or study abroad office to supplement the information in the transcript.

I am having difficulty getting transcripts from the college/university where I studied abroad. What should I do?

Oct 3, 2018Akiko

Although a transcript is most preferred (photocopied if not original), we will also accept a letter from the registrar’s office at your school or a study abroad office certifying your study abroad experience. Failure to provide proof of the study abroad will not disqualify your application unless you received a degree from a foreign institution.

Should I list my study abroad experience under Education History or International/Intercultural Experience?

Oct 3, 2018Akiko

If you are providing separate transcripts, please list it in both places. If your study abroad appears on your home institution transcripts, you do not need to list it under Education History.
