Credit Transfer & Approval |
 |
Transferring academic credit back to a student’s home institution is the final confirmation that study abroad is part of a longer academic trajectory. CEA Global Education focuses on two key dimensions of credit transfer:(1) The quality of Global Campus courses being transferred; and (2) the role that these courses can play in the student’s broader undergraduate career. Study abroad should not be an exotic diversion from on-campus rigor. Instead, study abroad should offer an integral part of longer-term major, minor and language study.
Academic credit transfer is ultimately decided by the student’s home institution. To assist in this process, CEA Global Education provides detailed course descriptions, contact hours, syllabi and recommended credits for individual courses. Prior to going abroad, CEA Site Specialists are available to help answer students’ questions regarding credit transfer. CEA Global Education has worked with more than 1,000 colleges and universities across North America to successfully translate and transfer credit for coursework completed in our programs.
Faculty members can help make this process a smooth one for students seeking a study abroad experience. Please review course descriptions submitted by your students before their program start date and consider giving written pre-approval for high grades earned abroad. Be on the lookout for official transcripts released by either the Global Partner or University of New Haven, CEA's School of Record, in the weeks following the completion of the study program.
CEA Global Education bases the number of recommended credits for each course on a conversion of 15 classroom/contact hours per semester credit. So a semester program with 180-225 contact hours should be considered worth 12-15 credits.
