Returning to Australia after your semester abroad? Transferring your US academic credits is easier than you think!
This guide explains how to transfer any US academic credit you earn while studying abroad with us.
How to Transfer Your Credits
Bringing your US academic credits back to your Australian university is usually a smooth process.
Here's what you need to know:
1. Talk to your Course Coordinator
Before you set off, have a chat with your course coordinator at your Australian university. They can fill you in on your university's credit transfer policies and help you choose courses that will likely transfer.
2. Understand AQF
Australia uses the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). It's a good idea to understand how the AQF levels align with the US credit system. This will help you see how your US credits might fit into your Australian degree
3. Check course recognition
Ensure the courses you take in Costa Rica match up with your degree programme back in Australia. Your course coordinator can help you with this.
4. Get your US transcripts
We'll send you your official transcripts once you've finished your Study Abroad programme. These show the courses you took, your grades, and the credits you earned.
5. Submit your transcripts
Send your US transcripts to your Australian university's admissions or student centre. They'll review your coursework and decide which credits will transfer.
Tips for a smooth transfer
- Pre-approval: It's a good idea to get your courses pre-approved by your university before you start your Study Abroad programme. This can help ensure a smooth transfer process.
- Course Alignment: Choose courses that match your Australian degree programme and have similar learning outcomes.
- Keep Records: Keep copies of course syllabi, assignments, and grades to support your credit transfer application.
By following these steps and working with your course coordinator, you can easily transfer your US credits and continue your studies in Australia without any worries.
