<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Roughly 25% of our enrollment is international, so I’m going to have someone in our ISS office get back to me on your questions concerning international students.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">All study abroad transfers in as TU hours, so we give the student equivalent credit at TU for what they’ve done abroad, as long as they studied abroad through our study abroad office. I won’t sugarcoat this
– it has been a painstaking 10 years for us to get this to a workable situation! I’m not trying to scare you off, but iron out all of your policies and procedures before you allow someone to go overseas! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">In a nutshell, we enroll the student at TU for the semester in which they are overseas. We created a 12 hour “place holder” course for the student, then once we receive documentation from the school as to what
the student actually enrolled in once they got overseas (because this will change from what the student thought he/she was going to take), we delete the place holder course and add the true courses. Ours have a TU department and we use the section number
8XX to make it easier to query.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Good Morning and Happy Monday!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Paul got the ball rolling this morning so I will add my questions, too -<span style="font-family:Wingdings">J</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a few questions this morning and would appreciate any feedback.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are receiving more and more foreign credentials. How does your institution evaluate these? Do you use a NACES member service for the foreign colleges?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For foreign high schools, how do you authenticate and confirm that the rigor of the foreign program is equivalent to that of a regionally accredited US high school? (Our Financial Aid officers are requesting this information for Title
IV purposes.) <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One more question – TCC is exploring a study abroad option for our students at an institution in Spain. The program could be for one or two semesters and the intent is that students could apply for financial aid. If you offer study abroad,
how do you transfer or transcript the hours? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks so much for any feedback or suggestions on any of these issues.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
