Study Abroad

Registration and Enrollment

• Students will be registered for study abroad at TU by the Study Abroad Office.

• In most cases, students will be registered using a placeholder code. The number of credits associated with this code may not correspond to the actual number of credits that students are taking while they are abroad.

• Upon completion of the study abroad program and receipt of an official transcript, the actual number of credits earned while abroad will be posted to the TU record.

• Students must maintain full-time status while studying abroad for a semester or academic year (equivalent of at least 12 U.S. credits each spring or fall semester).

• If a student does not maintain full-time status and receives financial aid to support their term abroad, they may be required to repay some or all of their aid award.

• Study Abroad credit is not transfer credit so students can study abroad in their last semester and complete their last 30 credits overseas.

• Students will be subject to the academic rules of their host institution or program overseas. Students must stick to their withdrawal, add, and drop deadlines – TU deadlines do not apply in these cases.
