Credit Transfer

If you’re taking the challenge of going abroad, whether to study, volunteer, intern, or do research, don’t you want your work to count? Each college in the United States varies in protocol and steps to secure credit transfer of courses from abroad. The below is meant as a guide only. Contact your study abroad office to find out exactly what you need to do to ensure the credits transfer back to your home university.

1. Find courses offered through your Panrimo program with those offered at your university. Or in the case you want to take courses abroad because they are not offered at your college, know which ones those are.

2. After you choose which Panrimo program you want to attend, print the course descriptions of the courses you wish to take, provided to you on Panrimo.com. Also print the letter to advisors.

3. Go to your study abroad office and ask for a Course Approval Form and talk to your university’s study abroad advisors about Panrimo.

4. Go to your school’s advisors and/or professors related to the course subjects you’ll be taking abroad and secure approval of these courses (you may have to do this via your study abroad office). This is crucial to guarantee credit transfer. Be sure to ask how many credits the advisor thinks will transfer onto your transcript.

5. Then go to your study abroad office for final approval and attend any mandatory meetings your study abroad office requires. That’s it! You’re now set to receive credit for your work overseas and to experience a Panrimo program. Make sure to do well in your classes abroad and do what your home university advisors ask of you.

6. A quick reminder: When abroad, save all your course work, writings, volunteer or intern research if applicable. It’s your proof you worked while abroad.

7. Panrimo cannot and will not guarantee any of your classes abroad will transfer to your home university. This responsibility rests on your shoulders, the student’s, to ensure this.
