Grading As with any course at Penn State, responsibility for assessing the student's academic achievement lies with the course instructor. Grades are recorded on each student's transcript. Course Selection Courses to be taken at Eastbourne are selected and approved in advance in consultation with the student's academic advisor within the Kinesiology Advising Center. Normally students take between 15 and 18 credits at Eastbourne. All courses offered in the Penn state education abroad program in Eastbourne are accredited under regular course numbers listed in the Penn State Baccalaureate Programs Bulletin.
Exact registration is subject to availability of courses on-site.
No transfer of credit is necessary since the student remains registered at Penn State while enrolled in the Eastbourne program. Every reasonable effort is made regarding course selection to maintain normal academic progress. Living Arrangements Accommodation is found for students before their arrival, in a convenient, safe, and friendly environment just minutes from the beach and the local hills. Students live in rooming houses which are typically used at other times of the year for lodging for tourists visiting the area beaches. Eligibility The Eastbourne program is open to students who are enrolled in a major or minor within the Department of Kinesiology, and students enrolled in the Interdisciplinary Dance Minor.
