Study Plan Approval Form Instructions

Before You Go

  • Visit the Education Abroad website to learn about credit transfer and what constitutes a full-time course load for ISEP and what constitutes a full-time course load for Partner Universities as well.
  • Complete entire form: “Transfer Course Title" is the course you wish to take at the host institution. "UM Equivalent Course" is the UM course you are wishing to substitute. You will need to discuss the course equivalencies with your academic advisor to find out what the courses you want to take abroad will transfer as at UM.
  • Obtain approvals and signatures:
  • Meet with your Academic Advisor to obtain his/her approval and signature.
  • Obtain your Major Department Chair's approval and signature if any of your transfer courses will be fulfilling major requirements.
  • Obtain your Minor Department Chair's approval and signature if any of your transfer courses will be fulfilling minor requirements.
  • Obtain approval and signature from an Admissions Evaluator in Enrollment Services (Lommasson Center 223) if any of your transfer courses will be fulfilling general education requirements.
  • Complete the form with your signature.
  • Submit this form to Education Abroad by the deadline provided.
  • Take a copy of this form with you abroad. The original should remain on file with Education Abroad.

While Overseas

  • You will complete the Enrollment Verification Form, have your host institution coordinator sign it, and send it to Education Abroad.
  • IMPORTANT: If at any time you make changes to this Study Plan, you must contact your Academic Advisor, Major Chair, Minor Chair, and/or Enrollment Services to secure approvals for the changes. You do not need to complete the form again while you are abroad as long as you save and print any email correspondence concerning credit transfer approval.

After You Return

  • Education Abroad will receive an official copy of your transcript from the host institution. We will forward this to UM’s Enrollment Services along with a copy of your Study Plan Approval Form.
  • IMPORTANT: If you have made changes to your original study plan it is your responsibility to provide ALL relevant materials to Enrollment Services directly to coordinate your desired credit transfer outcome.
