...<br>
</font></div>
<font size=3 color="#008080"><i>I heard that it is difficult to get
credit for study abroad on non-Yale programs. Is that true?<br>
</i></b></font><font size=3>No! We've been trying to dispel this
myth for quite some time now, yet it still persists. Don't believe
what others tell you -- here is the real scoop on the credit issue
...<br><br>
Getting Yale credit for the Year or Term Abroad Program is an easy,
painless process. Students who have been approved for study abroad by the
Committee are guaranteed credit as along as they take a full course load
of approved courses, and receive grades of C or better in all your
classes abroad. That's it. As noted in the Blue Book:<br><br>
</font><font size=3 color="#008080"><i>"Usually, if the student has
consulted with the director of undergraduate studies and an adviser in
the Office of International Education and Fellowship Programs before
going abroad, the award of credit upon return from the Junior Year or
Term Abroad Program is routine." <br><br>
</i></font><font size=3>In most cases, using courses taken abroad for
credit in the major, or toward distribution requirements, is also not
difficult -- as long as students talk to their DUS and dean before going
abroad, and keep them informed about any courses changes made during the
program's "shopping period." Some departments may also want to
see course syllabi, papers and/or exams, though sometimes just a
transcript will do. Check with the relevant DUS for more
details.<br><br>
