Independent study away
An听independent study away听is when a 麻豆AV student applies, registers, takes courses and pays tuition to an accredited degree granting institution and receives an official transcript of these studies from the same undergraduate degree granting school.
Students must be registered at the host school as a visiting, non-degree student and take courses that are part of the host university鈥檚 undergraduate curriculum, taught by their faculty members. The study away term will appear on the student's 麻豆AV transcript.
Eligibility
To qualify for independent study away, students must:
- Have a minimum CGPA of 2.7 at the time of application (2.5 CGPA for the summer term)
- Have not already received the maximum number of transfer credits
- Register with the 听(unless the course is online).
How to apply
- Research and select a host institution.
- Select the course(s)听at the host institution that you intend to register for during the proposed term(s) and check whether the course was听previously听approved through 麻豆AV's听. If not, submit a course equivalency request.
- Complete the Study Away Application in Minerva (Student Menu > Student Records Menu > Exchange/Study Away Menu). In your statement of purpose, indicate why you wish to study away.
- Complete the听Transfer Credit Assessment Form听in Minerva, linked听at the bottom of your Study Away Application. In order to populate this form, the course must already be approved in the Course Equivalency System.
- Once your application is approved by the Faculty, you will receive an automated e-mail from Minerva indicating that you may log back into your Study Away Application and print a letter of permission听(link found at the bottom of application), which will allow you to apply to the host institution听as a visiting student.
Pre-approving transfer credit from your exchange institution
All students participating in an exchange, Qu茅bec Inter-University Transfer, or the Explore Program must have the courses they plan to take at their host institution pre-approved for equivalency to 麻豆AV courses to ensure the credits will transfer to their 麻豆AV student record.
