Choosing a Program

Where do I begin? What do I need to consider as I research programs abroad?

1. Review听翱骋贰鈥檚 academic policies. Meet with your academic advisor and discuss when you should study abroad.

2. Ask yourself the following questions:

• Are there courses that I can take abroad to complement my major/minor?
• How much room do I have for electives?听
• Will I still be able to graduate on time if I don't get the courses I need abroad?听
• Should I double-major or add a minor?
• Should I take a language course abroad?
• Do the programs I am considering have specific requirements?
• Are the courses I am hoping to take abroad have any prerequisites?
• Are there limited or restricted courses for the specific programs I am considering?

3. Plan ahead using听the course and credits guidelines.

4. Check , by program.

Prior to Departure

I am getting ready to register for courses abroad. What do I need to do to get courses approved?

The OGE recommends but does not require seeking approval for major/minor courses prior to going abroad. For a majority of programs, course registration may not听be finalized until students arrive abroad.听Courses can be approved either prior to departure, while abroad, or after you return to BC. The availability of syllabus & course descriptions before departure can be very limited depending on the host study abroad program. This is why it is not always possible to seek approval prior to departure

Courses taken abroad automatically count toward general elective credit at BC. Students looking for major, minor, or core requirements should check the听听to see if a course has been approved.听

Courses found in the听听have been either taken by past BC students and/or reviewed and approved for major/minor/core by BC departments in the past. Courses are not guaranteed to be available every semester. Students may take courses not found on the database, this is common.

If a course is not approved in the听听and you wish to have it approved to fulfill major/minor/core requirements at BC, submit the听听

Some majors/minors only allow a certain number of study abroad courses (even if they have already been approved). Please check the respective departmental website for more information.

While Abroad

I'm here, what's next?

Where possible, students should seek course approval prior to departure. However, the availability of syllabus & course descriptions prior to departure can be very limited depending on the host study abroad program. This is why it is not always possible to seek approval prior to departure and some students will need to work on getting courses approved to fulfill BC major/minor/core requirements while abroad.

We recommend that students digitally save all syllabi, course materials, assignments, and important emails for future reference until pending and prospective course approval is fully settled.

If you have any questions about credit translation, please send a list of all your abroad courses with credit values to听ogeregistrar@bc.edu.

Students may consider declaring one of their abroad courses to be recorded with a Pass/Fail at BC. Please be sure to review the instructions and the OGE Grade Translation Scales when considering declaring a course P/F.

Back from Abroad

I had an amazing experience. Am I all set?

At the end of your time abroad, you will receive an email from听OGEregistrar@bc.edu听with specific information about transcripts, courses, and grades from abroad.听You are required to complete the Semester Program Evaluation in My OGE upon returning from your study abroad program.

All courses taken abroad are entered into a student's BC record as if they were BC courses.听 Major/minor/core approvals do not appear on EagleApps until after your transcript is processed and your study abroad courses are entered. The average timeline of when grades/courses from abroad appear on EagleApps looks like this:

Fall Study Abroad: April/May
Spring Study Abroad: September/October

Your grades will be translated according to our听grade translation scale,听and credit will be assigned based on the听course and credit guidelines.听

Most, but not all programs will automatically send your transcript to the OGE. If asked where to send your host transcript, please provide the following address:听OGEregistrar@bc.edu. Some institutions will not release transcripts if students have an unresolved financial or disciplinary issue. It is your responsibility to attend to these matters.

If you need a copy of your host program transcript, please email听OGEregistrar@bc.edu听using your @bc.edu email address and include your eagle ID with your request.听
