Academic Issues

 

Transferring Credits

Please see our course credit page for more information about transferring courses back to Virginia Tech. For all programs not run by Virginia Tech faculty you must fill out the "Permission to Take Courses Elsewhere Form" to get academic credit.

 

Transcripts

Before you leave the host university, confirm that you have done everything necessary for getting a transcript sent to the Education Abroad Office, 1820 Litton Reaves Hall. Students in Germany, read the ISEP Handbook about grade reporting. For non-ISEP students to Germany, please be sure to discuss this with the program coordinator in our office you leave. 

 

Registering for Your Return Semester at Virginia Tech

You are responsible for registering for courses on Hokie SPA while you are abroad for the semester you return to VT. Experience has shown that the period when students are doing registering for classes is so busy that a student who is abroad cannot expect their academic advisor to remember to correspond with them and send a timetable. It is a good idea to work with your academic advisor before you leave to determine which classes you should take upon your return. Also, be sure to take your academic advisor's e-mail and mailing address with you to correspond with him or her as needed.
