Academic Enrollment and Transfer Credit Most of our university partners in Europe offer the same degree programs as universities in the U.S. or Canada. This makes it easier for students to take classes that will transfer back to their home university and count as credits towards graduation. The home university has full discretion regarding transfer credit. EuroLearn requires the home university to pre-approve the classes students wish to take while abroad. EuroLearn can assist with this process and works with all U.S. and Canadian colleges and universities. Some subjects may require prerequisites before enrollment is granted. Final enrollments are completed from an approved list of subjects either online or upon arrival at the host university. EuroLearn cannot guarantee the availability of individual classes or admittance to any subject. Most U.S. and Canadian institutions will not accept transfer credit unless students obtain the equivalent grade of C- or better in their subjects. In some cases, subjects may be evaluated and transferred as Pass/Fail. To find out how courses will be transferred, please ask the study abroad or academic advisor at your home university. Academic Year Many European universities have a different academic calendar than the U.S./Canada. The academic year typically begins in late September and runs through the end of June with a two to four week exam period at the end of the fall and spring terms. Fall exams take place in January, and Spring exams take place in May/June. Universities with this schedule sometimes allow fall study abroad students to take an early assessment in December to avoid missing the start of their spring semester back home.
