Other Program Opportunities
If you are interested in looking at options other than UNI semester and summer programs, you may wish to visit these web sites first. If you wish to receive credit for coursework completed on a non-UNI program toward your UNI degree, then the program and your participation in the program must first be approved by the Office of Admissions (transfer credit and transcript evaluation issues) and the Office of International Programs (health & safety and advising issues). The process is quite simple but it may involve visiting with a number of offices and individuals on campus so you may wish to begin your search at least one semester prior to the program start date. To learn more about this topic, follow this link to the relevant page in our "Planning Guide" APPROVAL PROCEDURES FOR NON-UNI PROGRAMS Q: Why do you need to have the program and your participation approved? A: Program quality varies widely among study abroad providers. The approval process is designed to ensure that the credit you earn is applicable toward your degree and standards regarding health & safety are met. During the approval process and beyond, you will receive assistance from your study abroad advisor with matters such as advising and program selection, health insurance, immunization, pre-departure orientation, etc.
STUDY ABROAD FEE FOR NON-UNI PROGRAMS The study abroad fee for study abroad programs not affiliated with UNI is $100 regardless of duration.
