COURSE APPROVAL IS NOT REQUIRED
Students who study at the Ithaca College London Center and on Ithaca College Short-Term Faculty-Led programs are not required to obtain course approvals for completed coursework to appear on their transcripts. Extramural students who participate in these programs should check with their home schools to learn about the credit approval process specific to their institution.
Study Abroad Credit Approval
Study abroad credit approval can be intimidating. To help minimize confusion, we have outlined the requirements for credit transfer, based on program type, while also providing information about petitioning for ICC credit approval.
IC LONDON CENTER & IC FACULTY-LED PROGRAMS
AFFILIATED & EXCHANGE PROGRAMS
ELECTIVE CREDIT
All coursework taken with Ithaca College affiliated programs and Ithaca College Exchange programs are guaranteed to automatically transfer back to Ithaca College as non-designated elective credits as long as an official transcript or grade report, sent by the study abroad program, has been received by the Office of the Registrar upon program completion. Transcripts should be submitted to: the Office of the Registrar, 953 Danby Road, Ithaca, New York, 14850. If your program offers official electronic transcripts send them to registrar@ithaca.edu. Note: ALL grades (including C-, D+, D, D- and F) will transfer back to the college and will be averaged into the student's overall GPA.
FULFILLING SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
If students would like study abroad coursework to fulfill major/minor requirements, ICCs, major/minor specific electives, liberal arts electives, or other types of requirements, the Ithaca College Office of the Registrar requires that these courses be approved on a Study Abroad Course Approval form. ICC requirements must be approved on both the Study Abroad Course Approval form AND the ICC credit approval form (see the ICC Course Approval section, below). Note: ALL grades (including C-, D+, D, D- and F) will transfer back to the college and will be averaged into the student's overall GPA.
NON-AFFILIATED PROGRAMS
ALL COURSES MUST BE APPROVED
When students study on a non-affiliated basis, the Ithaca College Office of the Registrar requires a completed Study Abroad Course Approval form for ALL coursework taken abroad as well as the submission of an official transcript from the study abroad program upon completion. Transcripts should be submitted to: the Office of the Registrar, 953 Danby Road, Ithaca, New York, 14850. If your program offers official electronic transcripts send them to registrar@ithaca.edu. Note: These courses are treated as transfer credit and a grade of "T" (for transfer credit) will appear on the student's academic record.
FULFILLING SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
Ithaca College allows students studying on Non-Affiliated programs to fulfill major/minor, ICCs, liberal arts electives, or other graduation requirements, however, these courses must be approved on the Study Abroad Course Approval form as mentioned above. ICC requirements must be approved on both the Study Abroad Course Approval form AND the ICC Petition for Study Abroad (see the ICC Course Approval section, below).
ICC COURSE APPROVAL
ICC PETITION FOR STUDY ABROAD
Themes & Perspectives; Diversity; Quantitative Literacy; and Writing Intensive
In addition to receiving an official transcript and a completed Course Approval form, the Ithaca College Office of the Registrar requires the submission of an approved ICC Petition for Study Abroad for each course a student would like considered for ICC credit. Students may work with the director of the integrative core curriculum for assistance with completing and submitting these petitions. Additional information can be found on the ICC webpage.
