In most cases, it does not. Because TU allows coursework taken abroad to transfer back to TU for credit, this allows students not to miss any ‘time’ from TU and in most cases to still graduate with their class. However, if students change majors or degree plans before or after a program abroad, graduation may be affected. Again, students are required to seek approval from their academic advisor to ensure courses taken abroad will transfer towards degree requirements. It is suggested that students meet with their academic advisors early on to discuss their plans to go abroad so necessary accommodations and advising can be made.
