An Exchange Program is where 91做厙 has a direct bilateral agreement with a university abroad. You pay your normal tuition and fees to 91做厙, and attend classes at the partner institution. The courses you take abroad will transfer back to 91做厙 as in-residence credits and you will receive grades "CR" (Credit) if passed or "NC" (No Credit) if not successfully completed. The credits will count towards hours earned but will not affect your 91做厙 or overall GPA. You must take at least 12 credits at the partner university if attending a full semester program. Financial Aid can apply & scholarships are available.
