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 Illinois credit hours.
Students are also allowed to register for up to 1 Illinois 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.
Final course selection and course registration can only be made once the term has started at WHU. During the mandatory orientation days, there will be a separate information session dedicated to this topic. You will have access to a detailed schedule of classes and exams upon arrival at WHU, which will be available in our intranet. You will receive your login data during orientation.
Students are likely to get the courses they choose. Only few courses are overbooked.
