I
I think I am uniquely qualified to talk about this because I also have 1 semester abroad. What country did you go to if you don't mind me asking?
Since your credits transferred most schools expect you to order a transcript to be sent to an accreditation office like WES. Then that office processes your grades and credit hours and sends it to your school. This process was extremely hard because my school didn't accept payment with PayPal, credit card, check... They only took cash and a Chinese wire system that is hard to use.
Sometimes the accreditation office in America requires that you get the transcripts first sent to another company that certifies authenticity of document. That company then sends it to the American company for 2nd certification.
Often the American also wants an official word for word translation, which is just one more company you have to deal with. It is also one more bill to pay.
Each of these companies was very hard to work with and with the exception of the American company, all their documents/staff and information was only in Chinese. Don't get me wrong I speak Chinese very well but talking about things I that don't understand in English like Chinese bank money transfers is simply tough.
Once you get through all those steps you should be in the blue. Good luck! If you need more incite don't be afraid to ask.
