Receiving Credit in Arabic Language, Literature, and Culture

department credit transfer policies

Students wishing to receive credit in ARBC for coursework done off-campus during the academic year should discuss these plans with the Study Abroad Liaison. Students hoping to earn credit abroad toward their ARBC major should confirm with the ARBC department prior to departing abroad how courses may or may not be able to count. The link above is a list of already pre-reviewed courses and how they can count toward the ARBC major/minor. Upon return, semester students should complete the Petition to Request Substitution for a Requirement form for final and formal review.

Study Abroad Liaison

To assist students with their academic choices abroad and to help answer any questions about receiving major/minor credit while abroad, each academic department and program has assigned a faculty member to serve as the Study Abroad Liaison. As every department has different policies regarding credit from abroad, the Study Abroad Liaison can assist you with guidance on major/minor credit. Find the Study Abroad Liaison for ARBC here.
