Academic Advisors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As an Academic Advisor, planning with students to determine what study abroad courses may benefit their degree and lead to their academic success is essential. You may be presented with the Course Equivalency Approval form for students that are intending on studying abroad, those that are currently studying abroad and those that have already returned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This form should be completed by the student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This form needs to be approved and signed by the appropriate Department Chair or Faculty Advisor; otherwise, the form will not be valid by the Center for International Education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also recommended to make a copy of the completed and approved form for the student\u2019s record. In effort to be more transparent and efficient with grade processing for students once the student\u2019s courses and transcript has been processed the Enrollment Coordinator will upload the student\u2019s transcript, and supporting documents to the student\u2019s record on Navigate<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Academic advisors and 51ÁÔÆæ schools and colleges use the course equivalency approval form as an internal reference document when conducting the graduation clearance audit for students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
