Study Abroad Grading Policy
Study Abroad Grading Policy and ProcedureGrading for Courses Completed at Partnership Programs
1. Grades received from a partnership university will be considered attempted credit hours, and recorded and averaged into student's GPA.
2. Any student completing a semester abroad at a partner university may elect pass/fail grading for one course taken overseas. If a student selects this option, he/she will designate the one pass/fail course upon return from the semester abroad and Springfield College's receipt of the transcript from the partner university. As an exception to the pass/fail grading policy, the one course designated as pass/fail and completed in study abroad through a partner university will be applied towards meeting the General Education requirement.
3. All credits earned at our partner universities will be considered resident credits and applied toward graduation.
4. Name of partner university, exact study abroad course titles, Springfield College course equivalencies and waivers will appear on a transcript.
Grading for Courses Completed at Other Overseas Universities Grades from study abroad with a non-partner institution will follow Springfield College's policy for transfer credits.
