<p>Students participating in a study abroad program for which they will be taking credits at a host university abroad are required to obtain approval for their proposed study abroad coursework prior to leaving UW-Whitewater to begin their program. They will do so by completing a <a href="documents/international/TransferCreditAgreementWorksheet.pdf" title="Transfer Credit Agreement pdf">"Transfer Credit Agreement" [pdf]</a>. Except in the case of a study abroad program offering a standard curriculum to all participants, students are strongly advised to seek approval for twice the number of credits that they actually plan to take abroad, in case of course cancellations, schedule conflicts, etc. The majority of study abroad coursework can be approved by the following individuals:</p> <ul> <li>College of Arts and Communication: <a href="https://wp.uww.edu/Search/PersonDetails?id=mertensr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Robert Mertens</a></li> <li>College of Business and Economics: <a href="https://wp.uww.edu/Search/PersonDetails?id=pahlk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kari Pahl</a></li> <li>College of Education and Professional Studies: <a href="https://wp.uww.edu/Search/PersonDetails?id=fischers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Steven Fischer</a></li> <li>College of Letters and Sciences: <a href="https://wp.uww.edu/Search/PersonDetails?id=johnsons" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Susan Johnson</a></li> <li>World Languages: <a href="https://wp.uww.edu/Search/PersonDetails?id=melerop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pilar Melero</a></li> <li>General Education: <a href="https://wp.uww.edu/Search/PersonDetails?id=johnsons" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Susan Johnson</a></li> </ul> <p>Students are expected to get their courses approved before departure and to let CGE know of changes to their schedule after the program begins. Please note that for certain programs or specialized courses students may need to work with individual department chairs or other designated faculty members for course approval. If department chairs require additional information (e.g. course syllabi, contact hours, recommended credit conversion, etc.) or guidance to approve course equivalencies, please contact Shia Lee at <a href="mailto:LeeS08@uww.edu">LeeS08@uww.edu</a>.</p>
