coursework in ESADE

UIUC Registration

• The Registrar’s Office will register each student for BUS 399 at 12-credit hours. This is a placeholder course which shows that you are still a full-time student at the University of Illinois. After we receive your transcripts from your host institution, the BUS 399 will still appear on your schedule but for 0 hours and the courses you take abroad will be transferred as BUS 388 for credit with appropriate sections, course number, and title for course articulations for degree requirements/credits.

• Students will be automatically enrolled in LAS 291/292.

• Students must enroll in a sufficient amount of courses directly at the host university to be considered a full-time student. This must convert to a minimum of 12 UIUC credit hours.

• Students are also allowed to register for up to 1 UIUC online courses at no additional cost. This does not count toward your full-time status at your host university.

• There are specific sections of some business courses available to Gies students, or you can choose anyone online course. You are not required to take any online courses while abroad, other than the mandatory LAS 291/292 course.

ESADE Course Registration

• In the welcome package sent from ESADE, there will be instructions on how to register for courses and dates when the registration period is open. Complete the registration form within ESADE’s intranet. Pay attention to the deadline. You may only register for courses during this period.

• Students will bid on the classes with the most importance to them. Classes are not guaranteed. You may add/drop courses during the add/drop period only. Courses offered in the past can be found here.

• Exchange students are allowed to take courses taught in Spanish. ESADE recommends that students who wish to take courses in Spanish meet the B1 level in Spanish language. To see an explanation of fluency levels, visit this link. If you are interested in learning Spanish, ESADE offers an optional intensive Spanish course that is worth 2 ECTS (transfers as a free elective to UIUC).
