[Oacrao-l] Foreign transcripts and Study Abroad Question

[Orrell, Dustin S.]

Rose State College modeled our foreign credit acceptance policy somewhat after some of the other area school. We only accept evaluations that have been done by one of the NACES member organizations. We keep a copy of the transcript and the evaluation. We award credit on a course-by-course basis from those evaluations, so we may additionally ask for a course description or syllabus for our Academic Divisions to review.

Subject: [Oacrao-l] Foreign transcripts and Study Abroad Question

Good Morning and Happy Monday!

Paul got the ball rolling this morning so I will add my questions, too -:)

I have a few questions this morning and would appreciate any feedback.

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?

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.)

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?

Thanks so much for any feedback or suggestions on any of these issues.

Have a great week,
Traci
