For all programs you will remain enrolled at UWP as a full-time degree seeking student. You will not have to re-enroll.
Do not register at UWP for the term you want to go abroad. You will remain registered in a study abroad placeholder course which will maintain your full-time student status. Only after your study abroad semester is complete will your credits and grades be counted into your permanent record.
Please consult with your academic advisor and the study abroad office on what courses to choose for your term abroad. You should complete the International Study Course Approval Form before you go abroad.
When you are accepted into a UW-Platteville Study Abroad program you should inform your academic advisor and study abroad office at your home campus about your intent to go abroad with our program.
You will remain enrolled at your home institution as a "degree-seeking" student. We will enroll you at UW-Platteville for only the term you are going abroad as a "special student."
You will receive one official UW-Platteville transcript for the term abroad on a UW-Platteville program. This transcript will be sent to your home school's Registrar's or Admission's Office for transfer credit.
After you get accepted to our program and identify the courses you would like to take abroad, you should see what paperwork is necessary at your home campus to ensure transfer credit.
Most campuses have a document or form for you to complete. This form may be called something like "international study course approval form" or "study abroad transfer credit form." You must complete this form in full with all necessary and appropriate signatures (from academic advisors and department chairs) to ensure credit transfer.
To acquire approval, some department chairs at your home campus may request to see course descriptions for the courses you intend on taking abroad. All of these course descriptions can be found online.
Some department chairs may request to also see a syllabus for approving transfer credit of a particular course. Please contact us for helping you obtain overseas syllabi.
