Academics & Credits

You must meet with your advisor and Ashley from the Registrar to ensure the courses you take overseas will transfer and fulfill requirements.

Academic Policy For Courses Abroad

A normal course load may range from 3-6 courses
If a course if a duplication of a course already taken, no credit will be granted for the course
Keep a record of all work done abroad. Since professors abroad often do not return papers and tests, it’s best to make copies of all your written work. Also, keep copies of all communication with advisors.

Contact Information:

Ashley Ottman, Registrar

Phone Number: (508) 213-2082

All students must maintain the equivalent of a full course load while studying abroad during the academic year, which is 12-18 US credits. (Any exceptions to this policy must be approved through a petition to Academic Advising.)
Any enrollment below 12 credits a semester may have other consequences back at Nichols College. It will be your responsibility to make sure that any financial aid or scholarships that you currently receive remain active, and that you maintain any minimum requirements.

All overloads must be approved by Academic Advising.
If you enroll in more than 18 credits without a petition approval, you will need to choose which courses to transfer upon your return, up to the allowable limit.
