Academic Credit and Transcript

ACADEMIC CREDIT

UW-Platteville acts as our School of Record.

When you are accepted into the SAIIE program you should inform your academic advisor and study abroad office at your home campus about your intent to go abroad on our program.

After being accepted into the program you will need to identify the courses you would like to take through the SAIIE program and find out what paperwork is necessary from your home campus to ensure transfer credit.

Most campuses have a document or form for you to complete. This form may be called something like "international study course approval form" or "study abroad transfer credit form." You must complete this form in full with all necessary and appropriate signatures (from academic advisors and department chairs) to ensure credit transfer.

PLEASE NOTE:

• To acquire approval, some department chairs at your home campus may request to see course descriptions for the courses you intend to take abroad, or the syllabi for approving transfer credit for a particular course. Please see here for a full list of course descriptions and syllabi.
  
  
• While all credits should be transferable, please note that if you wish any of your courses to fulfill specific requirements for your major, minor, or general education, it is your responsibility to seek the necessary approval from the appropriate person(s) from your home campus.

GRADING & TRANSCRIPTS

SAIIE GRADING SYSTEM & TRANSCRIPTS
SAIIE students are graded according to the specified criteria in each syllabus. Generally speaking, for each course there are three exams per semester. In addition to this, there will be various quizzes, oral presentations and pieces of homework that each student must complete. Assistance is also an important factor which we take into account when grading students.

At the end of the term you will receive a UW-Platteville transcript* for the term abroad with SAIIE. This transcript will be sent to your home school's Registrar's or Admission's Office for transfer credit.

*Please note: all students that registrar directly through SAIIE will receive a SAIIE transcript at the end of the term for their course work done abroad.

All students participating in the SAIIE program will be issued a grade report upon completion of the program which will be sent to the address requested by the student.

UNIVERSITY OF SEVILLE AND EUSA GRADING SYSTEM & TRANSCRIPTS
University of Sevilla transcripts will be forwarded to UW-Platteville from 1 to 3 months after courses are completed. UW-Platteville will then convert the grading scale to the U.S. Grade Equivalent and forward transcripts to the home institution. Please remember that all classes taken at Universidad de Sevilla will be awarded 3 semester credits. 

Please note: For those students that registrar directly through SAIIE, SAIIE will forward the University of Sevilla and SAIIE transcripts to the address that they request. 

UW-Platteville & SAIIE will use the World Education Services (WES) grade conversion for Spain as follows to convert your grades from the University of Seville and EUSA:
