Title: Study Abroad
Post by: Belgarion on March 11, 2014, 01:59:15 pm
Does anybody know how it contributes to your GPA? From what i have read, it seems you are just given credit for doing the subject but not actually how the marks work

Grades are made equivalent when you come back I think. For example, if you got an A at an American University, they would equate it to an 80 here, irrespective of whether or not you got higher. TBH, a drop in GPA is probably worth the experience.

I went on exchange, and as far as I know my marks show up as a ** on my transcript. So I got the credit for the subjects but I don't think it affects GPA...

If simpak has some interesting info I'd like to get a PM.
