This spreadsheet contains:
- The name and location of your host university/program
- The grading scale used at your host university/program
- Most universities abroad do not use an A-F scale like the US, and even if they do, each letter grade may correspond to a different percentage than in the US.
- Minimum passing grade at your host university/program
- This is the minimum grade you need to receive while abroad in order to get credit for a course, as is equivalent to a C at UVM.
- Your host university/program’s credit conversion rate
- The credits you earn at your host university/program abroad may not be worth the same number of credits at UVM. For example, in most of Europe ECTS credits are used, which are worth half of a UVM credit. This means that 5 ECTS is the equivalent of 2.5 UVM credits. In order to remain in full-time status you must be enrolled in a minimum of 24 ECTS. Please be sure to check with an academic advisor if courses under 3 credits can be applied towards your degree requirements.
- The institution where your study abroad transcript should come from
- This is often your host university abroad, but some program providers like CIEE, IES, and Round River (and others) have a School of Record that will provide your transcript instead.
