Education Abroad Credit
Beginning Fall 2003, credit earned on exchange and education abroad programs is referred to as Education Abroad Credit (EAC) and handled in the following manner:
- Before embarking on education abroad, students must complete an Education Abroad Course Approval Form to specify which of the following each class taken abroad will satisfy: a major requirement; minor requirement; Honors College requirement; General Education Requirement (GER); or elective.
- Academic Advisors approve courses in their department by signing and dating the course approval form.
- Following receipt of the host institution transcript, courses are posted to the WSU transcript as follows:
- A semester GPA will not be calculated, nor will grades be included in cumulative WSU GPA.
- The student’s department will write an exception in DARS so that major/minor requirements are fulfilled.
Please note, students participating in a WSU Faculty-Led Programs receive regular WSU credit, and do not need to complete the Course Approval Form.
