Academic Matters. 5.1 I understand that if I am enrolled in a credit-bearing international program or travel study course approved by Concordia University Texas, that:
A. I do not receive academic credit for personal travel.
B. International study programs are strictly academic in nature, and I must expect to invest at least the same amount of time and effort that would be required for courses at a comparable level on the home campus.
C. Travel on weekends and holidays must not conflict with scheduled lectures or classes. I am responsible for making travel plans which will permit me to attend all regularly scheduled class activities and field trips.
5.2 I have complied with University requirements to register for all off-campus credits through the Registrar’s Office prior to leaving campus. I have deposited my Transfer Course Approval Form containing the requisite signatures with the Registrar’s Office.
5.3 I understand that I am required to attend all scheduled classes, lectures, activities and field trips and all mandatory pre-departure orientation sessions provided by Concordia.
5.4 I am aware that I may receive letter grades for credit-bearing work earned through Concordia University Texas’s approved programs. Courses taken through an approved off-campus study program in which a grade of “D” or better is reported will be awarded credit. All letter grades (A through F) earned abroad will appear on my transcript and factor into my Concordia GPA.
Academic Matters. Through its representation on the Steering Committee, the University will have final, ultimate decision-making authority and approval rights for all Academic Matters.
