If you are planning to study abroad start planning early and review the guidelines below to ensure a smooth transition.

Where to Begin

Degree Completion While at UVM

  • There are limits on the number of transfer credits that may be applied to your degree program and selected major. In general, 30 of the last 45 credits earned for the UVM degree must be taken at the University. Please consult the online catalogue for specific college/school policies.

While You Are Away

  • Before you return make sure to request that a transcript be sent directly to our office. It is much easier to request a transcript while you are still at an institution rather than waiting until after you have returned.

When You Return

  • If you are taking a course in the hopes it will be transferable for a specific course, be prepared to provide course materials (syllabus, exams, papers, notes) to our office in order to assist in your transfer evaluation. If you have questions about courses for which you may need to provide course materials please contact us by telephone at (802) 656-0867 or by email.
