Courses & Credit

Keeping up with your progress towards completing your CU degree during your term abroad is an important element to education abroad. Here are some of the resources you'll need to ensure that you will earn credit you need while you're abroad:

• Understand how you can Fulfill Credits Abroad. The vast majority of courses on CU Boulder approved programs are traditional academic subjects and will count as CU in-residence credit and towards your overall graduation hours.

• Connect with your academic advisor to Develop a Course Plan for while you're abroad

• Review the Course Approvals List to see what classes are already approved for the credit you need

• Submit classes for evaluation as needed. Here are some quick links to course evaluation forms:

• Major/Minor/Certificate Evaluation Form
• A&S Gen Ed/MAPS Evaluation Form

Other academic stuff you should know:

• Academic Considerations: learn about course load requirements while abroad, how the grading system works, and more!
• Transcripts & Post-Program Academics: review how and when you can expect your Ed Abroad credit to appear on your CU degree audit and transcript
