What does it take to have courses approved for UNM degree requirements when I take part in an international exchange program?
You will receive UNM credit for all coursework completed abroad, but those credits will only count toward specific degree requirements if the appropriate approvals have been obtained. In general, you should obtain as much information regarding a course you plan to take abroad (syllabus, course description, and/or name of textbook used; provide an English translation if necessary) and share this information with your academic advisor. It helps if you can also identify the relevant course, if any, that you believe it should count towards at UNM. If you complete this process before studying abroad, you will know what to expect when you return. If you wait to complete this process until after you study abroad, you may find it more difficult to have your credits apply to specific degree requirements.
