coursework at UCD

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.

Dublin Course Registration

• Complete the subject choice form in the application. This is not your registration but course preference. You should choose classes you intend to register for. UCD will contact you regarding the official registration process.

• You will find out which courses you have been registered in at your orientation. The add/drop period ends during the second week of the semester. Like UIUC, some classes may open once students arrive to campus and they can rearrange their schedules.

• UCD requires that you cannot take more than 6 modules or less than 4 (in total) and you must take the majority of your modules within Business. So for example, you can take 4 business modules and 2 elective modules (6 in total), or 3 business modules and 1 elective (4 in total).

• UCD course modules can be found here.
