Academic Advising

The International Center assists students with advising, courses, transferring courses and travel recommendations. As students start their study abroad journey they are encouraged to follow six steps to studying abroad. 

Advising Study Abroad Students

Students may need help determining when the best term is to study abroad and which courses will transfer to UND. Please review the students academic plan with them to help them determine when is the best time to study abroad and for how long. A student may choose to study abroad for an academic year, a semester, over the summer, or on a short-term faculty led program.

The Study Abroad Office is available to help students obtain syllabi for potential courses from our partner institutions and provider programs.

Course Approval

  1. Help the student to review course descriptions available at host institution and identify potential courses.
  2. Assist the student in requesting course review and determine course equivalency from the appropriate department.
  3. Complete and submit the Petition for Academic Credit form.

Recommendations

UND Study Abroad applications require a recommendation from a Faculty member or Academic Advisor. Please include an honest assessment of the student's maturity, academic ability and any reservations you may have about the applicant studying abroad.

Recommendations need not be formal letter. The recommendation will come as a request sent as an email sent through the Study Abroad application.

Transferring Credits

After studying abroad, it is the student's responsibility to submit their transcripts to the Study Abroad Office. All students must send their transript directly to UND. Trasncripts that need international credit evaluations will be evaluated by the Registrar's Office. The Registrar's Office coordinates the transfer of study abroad courses to UND trasncripts once the international transcript is received.

Students may send their physical transcripts to:

University of North Dakota
2891 2nd Ave N Stop 7143
Grand Forks, ND 58202

Electronic transcripts can be emailed directly to joan.enlow@UND.edu. 

Classroom Presentations
