After all, it is&nbsp;<em>study<\/em> abroad, right? To ensure that your participation in your chosen study abroad program provides you with maximum academic success, you should work closely (and early on) with your academic advisor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Study abroad academic credit is awarded for successful completion of your coursework while abroad. To receive academic credit you will need an official transcript from an accredited institution displaying courses, letter grades and credit amounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like your classes abroad to count as specific 51ÁÔÆæ courses (or as upper-level electives), you can use the <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/cie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/600\/2026\/04\/Accessible-Course-Equivalency-Form-3.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Course Equivalency Approval form (PDF)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"credit-processing\">Credit Processing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Credit for 51ÁÔÆæ-Sponsored Programs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Students who participate in 51ÁÔÆæ-sponsored exchange&nbsp;or&nbsp;non-exchange programs earn&nbsp;<strong>51ÁÔÆæ credit<\/strong>&nbsp;(not transfer credit), and the grades they receive abroad are factored into their GPA.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students are registered in a placeholder that consists of Global 297 for non-exchange programs and&nbsp;Exmural&nbsp;100 or&nbsp;Exmural&nbsp;700 for exchange programs. The enrollments are completed by the Enrollment Coordinator once the student has been accepted and confirmed into the program. The placeholder enrollment allows the student to maintain full-time status and receive financial aid to use towards their study abroad costs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After studying abroad, the Center for International Education receives transcripts from students\u2019 host universities or programs, and their coursework and grades are posted to PAWS.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Credit for Non-51ÁÔÆæ Programs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Students receive&nbsp;<strong>transfer credit<\/strong>&nbsp;for participation in non-51ÁÔÆæ-sponsored study abroad programs and must register through CIE.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students are first registered in&nbsp;Exmural&nbsp;099, a full-time placeholder that allows students to maintain their status at 51ÁÔÆæ and allows them to apply their financial aid toward their study abroad program costs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students who participate on&nbsp;non-51ÁÔÆæ sponsored&nbsp;study&nbsp;abroad programs&nbsp;<strong>MUST&nbsp;<\/strong>have their transcripts sent to the Center for International Education in order to be processed. How the student\u2019s courses and grades are processed depends on the type of transcript that is received by CIE. Once transcripts are evaluated by CIE, credits and grades are uploaded to students\u2019&nbsp;PAWS accounts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"course-equivalency-approval\">Course Equivalency Approval<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is Course Equivalency Approval and why is it important?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The course equivalency approval process is used by the Center for International Education and study abroad students to determine the appropriate equivalencies for coursework taken abroad.

If the student chooses a non-51ÁÔÆæ program, there is a separate application and program fee that is necessary for maintaining enrollment, transferring credits, receiving advising and orientation. They will initially be registered in a placeholder course that is used to generate eligibility for financial aid. Upon their return and submission of an official university transcript to CIE, the transfer credit and courses will be placed on their 51ÁÔÆæ record.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\">Can students improve language skills abroad?<\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<p>Absolutely! Studying in a country where students would be immersed in the language is the best way to maximize and improve language skills and competency. 51ÁÔÆæ offers various programs in which students have the opportunity to continue learning and improving in many modern languages. These programs generally require a minimum of 4-5 semesters of college level language study or the equivalent.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\">I only speak English. Can I study abroad?<\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<p>Yes! 51ÁÔÆæ has several study abroad programs in English speaking countries, including Ireland, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. Additionally, programs with courses taught in English are available in many non-English-speaking countries, such as France, Germany, Korea, Sweden and others.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\">Do I have to be a junior to study abroad?<\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<p>No. Students are eligible to study abroad any time after completing two semesters at 51ÁÔÆæ, although some programs require junior standing to participate. Transfer students are eligible to study abroad at any time after their first semester at 51ÁÔÆæ.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\">Are there specific programs for my major?<\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<p>51ÁÔÆæ offers a wide variety of study abroad programs that are suited to many different majors. Many of our programs are at comprehensive universities like 51ÁÔÆæ, where they offer courses in many different subject areas. We also offer some programs that are focused on certain subjects, such as the arts, social sciences, business or foreign language. The best way to find out what subjects are offered is to browse specific program pages. Another good strategy is also finding the provider\u2019s or university\u2019s website to see what courses may be offered now and in the future.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\">How do students receive credit for studying abroad?<\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<p>On 51ÁÔÆæ-sponsored programs students will be registered as a 51ÁÔÆæ student and earn 3 to 18 51ÁÔÆæ credits, depending on the length of the program. Students attending non-51ÁÔÆæ-sponsored program will receive transfer credit. This is a very important distinction in many majors and minors, so it is important that students speak with their academic advisors. All courses taken abroad will come back as electives; if a student needs a course taken abroad to count as a specific 51ÁÔÆæ course, they must complete the <a href=\"https:\/\/panthers.sharepoint.com\/:b:\/s\/CIE\/studyabroad\/EVP4HAc1nPNClKHh-ivgtd8Bg0v_5GDI8ZAvHb7E2C0nzQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Course Equivalency Approval Form (PDF)<\/a>.

If they participate in a non-51ÁÔÆæ-sponsored program they will earn transfer credit and their grades will not count toward their GPA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do keep in mind, however, that graduate schools typically request a transcript for any courses taken abroad to recalculate an applicant\u2019s GPA.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\">Will students have to delay graduation if they study abroad?<\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<p>Not necessarily. With careful planning, students can remain on track to graduate on-time. Some of our study abroad students have even finished their undergraduate education in less than 4 years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CIE advises students to start planning early and to work closely with their academic advisors to design the best course of study that will ensure that they remain on track toward graduation. Some students find that it is best for them to remain at 51ÁÔÆæ for an extra semester or year after studying abroad (which is why many choose to study during their junior year) because of the new focus they gained as a result of their time abroad.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\">How do students register for their next semester at 51ÁÔÆæ while abroad?<\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<p>51ÁÔÆæ students may register for the next semester\u2019s courses via PAWS the same way they would at home. They should maintain contact with their 51ÁÔÆæ academic advisor for course selection and advising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When registering for classes, students must take into account any time differences between Milwaukee and where they will be studying. Maintenance is often scheduled late at night in Central Standard Time, and therefore they may have to plan their usage accordingly. Furthermore, PAWS will work only on computers that are in the English language, so you must set your computer to the English language to use PAWS. Alternatively, you can change the three-letter code in the URL for PAWS to \u201clang=ENG\u201d to trick the computer and use <a href=\"http:\/\/uwm.edu\/paws\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PAWS<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\">What if a student wants to participate in a volunteering abroad program?<\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<p>Unfortunately, CIE typically only assists students who are looking for opportunities where they receive credit.
