Your records officer will use the final Course Approval Form you submit to determine how the course will transfer to UIUC (grade, credit/no credit, and the course equivalency). The transcript and credit recommendation will be sent to the Registrars Office for final processing. They will add the courses, credits, and grades to your permanent record. Please note that it could take up to three to six months for your final grades to appear on your DARS.
For course approval instructions, go to https://studyabroad.illinois.edu/outgoing-students/course-approval-process/
All courses taken abroad will be processed for credit and grades. If you wish to take a course for credit/no credit (C/NC), submit the credit declaration form accessible via this link: Course Approval Form. Please also remember you need to earn a C- or higher to earn credit, and courses taken for credit only cannot be used to satisfy University requirements.
