We recommend that students take, if possible, one of UNO's summer study abroad programs to increase their language facility. Those planning to go to Spain, for example, should consider studying Spanish in the summer program in Costa Rica offered by the Division of International Studies . Once you are at the partner institution, your language proficiency will be tested and you will be placed in a language course appropriate to your abilities. You must indicate in writing , which type of grade you wish to use when you register at UNO before leaving. Charles University encourages U.S. students to enroll in courses not listed in its ECES program.
Tutorials are also available.
Before leaving New Orleans, you should register for 12 hours of cross-enrolled courses at the Registrar's Office. If you have been accepted into an exchange program, the Registrar will have your name on a list in his office, so he will be expecting you. This will allow you to take up to 19 hours of courses at the partner institution per semester. This varies from school to school. The Central European universities offer a set program of courses to exchange students.
