One fall, I did a very intense study abroad program in Asia for academic credit. I left the US one month before that program started and spent time traveling around/refreshing my language skills through practice. I signed up for classes at a local school to attend between travels.

When I enrolled, my US university said there was no way I could receive credit from that school, because it was not associated with some sort of american institution. It was a very casual class I took just to refresh my language skills between traveling. My grade wasnt bad, but it was lower than my GPA and lower than all my other language classes. Do I need to report the grade/class on AMCAS? Its not on my transcript and I dont even know how a 4 week course would count credit-wise.

Thanks
