I just realized that I have not been factoring in any of my study abroad classes into my current GPA.
On my transcript from my home university it is just labeled at 12 cr. -Study Abroad - Passed or something like that.
I really hope I do not have to factor these grades in. I might have partied a little too much.
Anyone have experience with this, please?
It doesn't mention whether the grades factor into your GPA.
AACOMAS WEBSITE:
Study Abroad:
If you have attended a study abroad program sponsored by a U.S. institution, and all courses, hours and grades appear on the U.S. transcript, list those courses on your academic under the foreign institution. You must then check the box that states “This is study-abroad coursework and no transcript is expected.”This will eliminate the need for a transcript exemption if it meets these criteria. However,if all courses do not appear on the home institution transcript, or if grades are not assigned or any other irregularity exists, see instructions for Other Foreign Transcripts. If your study abroad was done through an outside agency that is affiliated with your home institution you will need to have a transcript sent from that agency (International Studies Abroad, etc). School affiliation must be accounted for on agency website. Additional letters from the U.S. sponsoring institution may be required for review.
Foreign Institutions:
Except as noted above, coursework taken at foreign institutions must be evaluated for U.S. equivalence by one of the evaluation services listed below, and an official copy must be sent from the service directly to AACOMAS. You should also have a copy sent to you for the purpose of completing the AACOMAS application. Request a course-by-course evaluation and list the courses, subject codes, semester hours and grades on the AACOMAS Colleges and Coursework application page, following the instructions. Your application will not be complete and cannot be verified without an official evaluation by one of the services listed below. AACOMAS will only accept evaluations from the companies below and will not advise applicants on the selection of a service. If an agency is not able to complete an evaluation for you, you must attempt another service. If the second service is not able to evaluate your foreign coursework you will need to have both companies send copies of the letters to AACOMAS
