Why do I need to complete the Transfer Credit Approval Process before studying abroad? 

转学学分批准程序是维持你作为newbb电子平台学生的注册所必需的. Additionally, this process allows you to:  

  • Ensure that you receive academic credit.
  • Verify that your expectations regarding credits earned are realistic.

  • Ensure that you understand the appropriate guidelines and policies

What does the process look like? 

The credit approval process consists of four steps, which you will complete in the Office of Global Opportunities Student Portal. 

  1. Admissions Approval -确认颁发成绩单的机构是由国家教育部认可的，并且获得的学分可以被newbb电子平台接受.  
  2. Academic Approval -评估哪些课程可以利用你的全球经验，以及如何将这些课程转回newbb电子平台. 
  3. Budget and Financial Aid Approval -了解项目的总成本，以及经济援助是否以及如何适用于你的项目成本. 
  4. Verification of Enrollment – Upon arriving on-site, you will submit a verification of enrollment form, which allows OHIO to confirm your enrollment and disburse any applicable financial aid. 

Admissions Approval 

这部分是由全球机会办公室(OGO)顾问在与本科招生部门协商后完成的，当你的项目在美国联邦政府批准时 OGO Student Portal.  You will know that your program is approved by OGO when your program name in the OGO Student Portal 从“非俄亥俄州占位符项目”切换到您所选项目的实际名称，并且您已收到“接受”电子邮件.  Note: This process can take up to one week after your application has been received.  

After OGO has approved your program, you will see your transcripting institution listed on the "Admissions Approval" tab of the OGO Student Portal.  如果您对上面列出的内容有任何疑问或担忧，请查看此信息并尽快联系Global Opportunities. 

Transfer Credit Guidelines

转学学分的最终确定将取决于完成经验后收到的成绩单. Courses and grades must meet the guidelines found on http://www.catalogs.mediagate-egy.net/content.php?catoid=39&navoid=2333#Transf_Other_Col_Univ. 在大多数情况下，在此过程中预先批准的留学课程学分符合这些指导方针. 
 
本科学生必须获得相当于“C”或更高的成绩才能获得转到newbb电子平台的学分. Graduate students are required to receive the equivalent of a “B" or better. 在newbb电子平台招生办公室收到并评估了被认可或认可的大学的正式成绩单后，转学分将被记入你的DARS. The transfer credit will appear as a “T” signifying that it is transfer credit, followed by the appropriate letter grade that you received, e.g., “TA,” “TB”. 
 
您有责任确保接收机构或提供者将提供成绩单, translated in English, if necessary, to the Office of Global Opportunities. If secure digital transcripts are offered, request these be sent to admissions@mediagate-egy.net, and if possible, copying global.opportunities@mediagate-egy.net 

It can take 2 to 4 months for the host institution to provide your transcript. Upon receipt, OGO forwards the transcript to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. It is then sent to your college/department, as they add the course equivalencies. 

Academic Approval 

In this section, 您将 评估您的全球经验中有哪些课程可用，以及如何将它们转移回俄亥俄州. 您将与入学学院的成功顾问合作，为您考虑参加全球项目的任何课程获得学术 预批准.  

If your program provider also has a course approval form, once you have completed the "Academic Approval" tab in the portal, email the form to global.opportunities@mediagate-egy.net and an OGO advisor will sign the form.

Budget and Financial Aid Approval 

For this section, the process varies for Exchange and Non-OHIO experiences. 对交换项目感兴趣的学生将使用与他们感兴趣的交换经验相关的学生预算工作表. The student budget worksheet can be found on the program website.

  2. Meet with an OGO Advisor.  OGO顾问将审查您的预算，以确保您已考虑到所有估计的项目成本. You will need an OGO advisor to sign off to complete your registration. 

Once you have either a student budget worksheet or an OGO-approved alternative budget form, you are ready to meet with Financial Aid to discuss your hat about their financial situation.  

When going to Financial Aid, students must bring: 

  • A copy of their completed Study Abroad Course Pre-Approval form (see the Academic Approvals for more details). 
  • A copy of the student budget worksheet or the completed Alternative Budget Form, signed by an OGO advisor
