Subject/Number & Title of Course Abroad

List the titles of the courses offered at your host institution abroad. You may find information on course offerings for your particular term(s) abroad on the host institution’s website, within My Study Abroad, a course catalogue or a combination of these resources.

It is important to list the courses in the exact wording used by the host institution and list the subject and number of the course abroad (e.g. AUST 2022 Australian Studies).

Courses in the Course Approval Database? Y/N

Check the Course Approval Database to see if your courses have received prior approval.

• If the course has already been approved, print it out, mark “Y” in Column #2, and attach the printout to the Course Approval Summary Form.
• If the course is not in the Course Approval Database, or you wish to seek approval in a subject area other than what is already approved, mark “N” in Column #2 and seek approval from the Study Abroad Course (299) Advisor in the corresponding subject area. In most instances, the Study Abroad Course (299) Advisor is not the same person as your academic advisor.

Grade or CR/NC

Students will take courses abroad for grade and elective credit unless a course approval summary form is submitted by October 15 prior to a spring term abroad or by March 15 prior to a summer or fall term abroad. Courses completed using credit/no-credit grading will not apply to general education, major, or minor requirements. For questions about this policy, or to request credit/no-credit grading after these deadlines, please contact the assistant dean at ahs-acaffrs@illinois.edu.

Students should bring the Course Approval Summary Form to a face-to-face meeting with your academic advisor. If the course has already been approved, you must print and bring a copy of the Course Approval Database approval with you to your meeting with your academic advisor. Your advisor will complete and sign the form in this meeting.

Please be sure to sign the completed form during your meeting with your academic advisor.

Once you have met with your academic advisor, you need to bring the completed form (with the Course Approval Database approvals) to the AHS Records Officer in room 211S Huff Hall for the college approval signature. The college will retain a copy of the Course Approval Summary Form.
