Clusters The College's Curriculum Committee will allow students to transfer courses from UR-sponsored study abroad programs into Clusters. This may be done by proposing an individualized interdepartmental Cluster or by proposing an exception to a departmental Cluster. Please note that approval is not automatic. Consult with a Study Abroad Adviser for details. Important credit notes Many American colleges and universities are based on a 120 credit system, in contrast to the UR, which requires 128 credits to complete the undergraduate degree.
Transfer credit is awarded on a proportional basis.
Independent studies or internships taken on study abroad programs cannot, with the exception of the University's Internships in Europe program, receive pre-approval for transfer credit. It is in your best interest to discuss your plans with faculty before going overseas as some departments do not grant transfer credit for independent studies or internships, even for elective credit.
