NON-CSUS/NON-CSU STUDY ABROAD PROGRAM
If you are a CSU Sacramento student and intend
to participate in a study abroad program that is not one of the programs
sponsored by The California State University nor by CSU Sacramento, you
must do the following in order to receive transfer credit:
| 1. | Complete a Study Abroad
Questionnaire in the Office of Global Education. |
| 2. | Set
an appointment with Monica Freeman, Coordinator of International
Programs for CSU, Sacramento. The
Office of Global Education is located in Lassen Hall 2304,
and the telephone number is 916-278-6686. |
| 3. | Obtain
detailed information on the study abroad program in which
you intend to participate. You
should have information on the sponsor of the program, the
location of the program, whether or not the program is affiliated
with an accredited institution of higher learning, course
information, and what document will be issued at the end
of your program for the purpose of recording grades and courses
(an official transcript is required to be sent directly from
the host institution to CSUS). Bring this information
with you to the appointment with Monica Freeman. The
Office of Global Education will notify you later regarding
whether or not the program you have chosen has been approved
for transfer credit at CSUS. |
| 4. | If
you are studying abroad for more than one semester obtain
a Leave of Absence form from Monica Freeman or the Registrar’s Office on the first floor
of Lassen Hall. Complete this form, indicating that
you will be on academic leave for the purpose of study at
another institution. Please note that for the purpose
of transfer credit you must complete and turn in such a form. |
| 5. | Obtain
a CSUS application form and take this with you when you
study abroad. If appropriate,
send the application form back to CSUS at the appropriate
time before returning (see the directions on leave of absence
attached to the Leave of Absence Request). For information
concerning appropriate timing, inquire at the Admissions/Records
Office. Sending this form to CSUS notifies us that you
are now intending to resume your degree program here. If
your semester/year abroad is your final term of study for
your CSUS degree, you do not need to re-apply to CSUS. |
| 6. | Follow the proper procedures to ensure that an official transcript from your host institution abroad will be sent to CSUS. Transcripts should be sent to: Mlima Wells, International Admissions Officer, Global Education, California State University, Sacramento, 6000 J Street, Sacramento, CA 95819-6012 |
