Academic status: You must not be on Academic Warning or suspended during or at the end of the term before studying abroad. If suspension is imposed before departure, any previous permission is void. You must have a Cumulative GPA of at least 2.5 during or at the end of the term before studying abroad.
You must have at least 12 U.S. credits transferring back to UVA per semester for semester/year study abroad. The semester(s) abroad counts as one (or two) of your semesters at UVA. There is no credit minimum during summer, but you will need to take 6 credits to receive financial aid. No more than 60 non-UVA credits can count toward your degree. You may receive no more than, and may receive fewer in some cases, the number of credits earned at the host institutions.
You must receive a grade of "C" or better for your courses to transfer. Courses passed with an S, P, or CR grading option will transfer only upon verification that they represent work equivalent to no less than a "C". Such courses will also be counted in the limit of Credit/No-Credit courses allowed.
Uses of transfer credit: Duplicate credit will not be awarded for a course you have already taken.
Credits will only transfer from accredited degree-granting colleges and universities or University-approved institutions and programs.
