Study Abroad Credit
In order to receive credit at the College, students must have earned a grade
of “C” or better in the courses taken abroad and have completed the study
abroad transient approval form. Upon completion of a study abroad
program, students must have an official transcript from the study abroad
institution sent to Birmingham-Southern College. Courses completed
at institutions abroad are treated as transient credit, appear on the
Birmingham-Southern College transcript as credit only with the notation
“TR,” and are not computed in the cumulative grade point average. See
the “Transient Credit” section in this catalog for more information. Study
abroad courses may not duplicate courses already completed at the College.
Participation for at least one full term in study abroad through the Sklenar
Center may be used to fulfill some Explorations curriculum requirements,
including one Civic Engagement requirement, or, with approval, the Self-
Directed requirement. Study abroad courses may not be used to fulfill other
Explorations learning outcomes requirements.
