Transcript Services For most year and semester abroad programs, transcripts are issued from the in-country host university. These universities are accredited through their respective governments. Transcripts arrive in our Colorado office approximately 4-8 weeks after the last day of the end of term. If the student’s account is paid-in-full the transcript will be forwarded on to the appropriate person listed in our database to receive the transcript. A copy of the transcript will also be sent on to the student for their records.
Internship students who participate in the 10 week program will earn 6 internship credits (INT490) on a Chapman University transcript. Graduate level credit (INT590) is also available for qualified students. Once the transcript arrives from Chapman in our Colorado office they will be processed like our semester and year abroad programs.
Summer and January short course program participants will receive either a transcript or a certificate of completion depending upon which program they choose. Students who participate in a university program will receive a transcript from that university overseas and the transcript will be processed like the semester and year long programs. Check out our summer programs page to determine which method of credit will be issued.
Students should seek transfer credit approval from their home campus prior to accepting a place on any of GlobaLinks Learning Abroad's programs as home universities reserve the right to award credit into degree programs. All transcripts come with a grading conversion scale based on American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) standards.
An updated record of when transcripts have been sent from our office can be found in the Alumni Section of the website.
School of Record GlobaLinks Learning Abroad is proud to have The University of Minnesota, Twin Cities (UMN) as the School of Record for all GlobaLinks Learning Abroad semester and year abroad programs, as well as all summer programs with a foreign issued transcript. This partnership will allow UMN to evaluate individual subjects taken at partner universities overseas and ensure the academic rigor and compatibility with educational standards as defined by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA CASI).
Students who attend a university in the U.S. or Canada which requires a transcript from an accredited North American institution in order to transfer credit can obtain an official transcript from the University of Minnesota for their program abroad through this agreement (additional $350 fee will apply). Students who request a School of Record transcript will be temporarily admitted as non-degree seeking students at the University of Minnesota. The University of Minnesota is solely responsible to evaluate coursework on the host university transcript, determine grade and credit conversions, and issue a University of Minnesota transcript with GlobaLinks Learning Abroad coursework listed as resident credit.
Students who wish to receive a University of Minnesota, Twin Cities transcript for their education abroad program can indicate this requirement on their application. More specific forms will be required upon acceptance to a program and students will be required to pay $350 USD. |
