If you will study abroad with the programs provided by the Center for International Education, we will send you an email about the details of procedures.
No procedures are required if you will study abroad with short-term programs during the school holiday.
Credits you earn at an overseas university or school during the period of your study abroad are recognized as credits required for graduation as long as the Faculty Committee accepts them based on the results of a document review (and an interview with the Associate Dean if necessary) (there is an upper limit on the number of such credits that can be recognized).
