Course Approval Record

Once approved to study abroad, you will receive elective credit for courses.  If you want to fulfill major, minor or core requirements, you will need approval from the appropriate department chair.

You must provide department chairs with course descriptions when seeking approval signatures (course syllabi are sometimes required as well).  You must obtain the following signatures on the Course Approval Record:

• For major/minor coursework credit - signature of the department chair or designated faculty member. Click here to download the list.
• For core requirements - signature of the designated faculty member. A list of department contacts is available at the IEC.

Core equivalents and/or substitutions for major and minor requirements must be indicated on the form by the designated faculty member or appropriate department chair.

You are advised to get alternate courses (i.e. more courses than they will actually take abroad) pre-approved in the event that courses are cancelled or there are scheduling conflicts abroad. 

The completed Course Approval Record must be returned to the International Education Center.  Please keep the bottom copy, and take it with you abroad.

The Course Approval Record is available at the IEC.  Contact a study abroad advisor to obtain a form.
