Study Abroad Credit

TCU supports three types of study abroad programs: programs administered by the Center for International Studies, called "TCU in" programs; programs administered by select providers and universities with which the TCU has an agreement, called "Partner" programs; and "Petition" programs, special programs for which a student has submitted a petition and the Center for International Studies and the students' academic unit have approved. Petition programs must be accredited institutions of higher education.

For TCU in programs, Partner programs and Petition programs not utilizing a U.S. transcript, courses count as residency credit, in which case the course grades are computed in the official TCU GPA and students can elect to take individual courses P/NC following TCU policy. Students who do not want to receive residency credit may elect to have all courses count as transfer credit, in which case credits are not eligible for Cultural Awareness credit. Students who elect to have study abroad courses count as transfer credit must declare their intent in writing prior to the period of international study and said declaration is irrevocable. 

Study Abroad Petition programs utilizing U.S. transcripts will be brought in as transfer credit.

The Center for International Studies: TCU Abroad assists students in making arrangement for international study.
