Academic Credit

All Auburn Programs will receive direct Auburn credit:

• Grades and credite listed directly on your Auburn Transcript - Grades counted toward your GPA.
   
• All courses and equivalents are preapproved by AU Dept. Chairs on the Auburn Abroad Course Approval form.
   
• Upon return, Transcript goes to Auburn Abroad for processing before going to registrar
   
• Scholarships/ financial aid can be applied directly to program fees through Bursar Account.
   

All Non-AU programs will receive Transient credit:

• Starting Summer 2012, transient credit is the only type of credit you can bring back from other university or affiliate programs.
   
• Courses will be listed on your Unofficial Transcript – Grades do not count toward your GPA
   
• Decision regarding transient/ substitution courses will be made by registrar and academic department. You can assist the process by completing a new “International Transient Credit form” (form is currently being developed).
   
• Upon return, bring study abroad transcript(s) to the registrar.
   
• If scholarships or financial aid is needed, student must work with Auburn Abroad staff so that they can enroll in Auburn Abroad (full time placeholder course) and fill out appropriate forms.
