The normal courseload is seven courses per semester. However due to language differences, UR students are required to take a minimum equivalent of 12 semester credit hours and a maximum of 16 credits. Course credits may vary per course. For more information, contact the advisor in the Office of International Education. Interested UR students will also have an opportunity to participate in volunteer activities during or after the semester of study.
All residences provide basic amenities.
The commute to classes depends on the location of the family stay, but will be within reasonable bus distance. Applicants should have two reference letters from faculty members. One of the letters should be from a professor in the student's major and the other from a professor in the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures. Both letters should state the student's academic ability, major work completed thus far, level of maturity. All documents including a recent UR transcript are to be submitted to the Office of International Education.
