If you feel that the Spanish course level you were placed in is incorrect, please speak directly to your Spanish teacher and discuss the possibility of changing your course (i.e. going up or down a level). Bear in mind that Spanish classes here tend to be more difficult than those in the United States.

Students wanting to print materials for their SIS classes can do so at the office (4th floor) free of charge during office hours when staff are present. Please note that staff usually work remotely on Fridays, and therefore printing cannot be guaranteed on this day. For this reason, students are welcome to print during the following office hours:

Monday-Thursday: 9am-2pm, 3pm-6pm

Printing instructions can be found next to the printer.

If the office is not open, we recommend searching for a "copisteria" near you in Google Maps. These are printing shops, though you may have to pring a USB to print, or send them your documents through e-mail (this can be done when you are there).

All your exams and assignments will be graded in a 0-100 scale (which usually shows up as a number between 1-10), while your final grade will always be a letter grade, following the US system. For more information, you can refer to the following guide: https://www.ju.edu/registrar/grading-information.php

If you wish to have your classes appear as pass/fail, please contact your home university for help, since it's them who ultimately decides how your grades appear in your transcript. Barcelona SIS does not grade in pass/fail. 

It is the responsibility of the student to confirm that they will get the appropriate credit from their home institution for any courses they take at SIS. As you register for classes or during the add/drop period, be sure you are in touch with your advisor at home to ensure you will be getting the credits you need. 

Once grades are sent to your home institution, it is up to your school to decide how it appears on your transcript. Some schools may transfer grades as pass/fail, while others assign a letter grade.
