Courses taken abroad may fulfill major, minor, and general education coursework, with approval of your academic advisor. Getting courses approved is an important step in the preparation process and should be taken care of while you are still on campus.
The completed Course Equivalency Form must be submitted to your Academic College or School. Upon receipt of your transcript by the Office of Study Abroad, which may be months after you return, your transcript will be posted and your marks will become part of your official UM transcript. The course equivalencies will be provided to the academic services division of your UM college or school for graduation clearance. If you are already abroad and your classes change, you may still be able to obtain approval from your academic advisor via email. We recommend that you keep all of your class assignments until you have secured approval for each class.
If you do not get equivalencies, the credit will be counted as general elective credit and could apply to the total number of elective credits needed for an undergraduate degree. If you intend to have a specific course count for any specific graduation requirement, you will need to get it approved for a course equivalency that satisfies that requirement. This is the same for both general education, major and minor requirements. You should discuss your degree requirements with an academic advisor in your school/college and department to determine the types of equivalencies you will need prior to departure.
