WILL I DEFINITELY RECEIVE CREDIT FOR THE CLASSES I TAKE IN SPAIN ?
Your home campus decides if and how any academic credit will be awarded. However, students should be aware that they will be given a copy of their course syllabus and that all homework, quizzes, exams, etc. will be returned to the student. Arrangements can also be made to have final exams and papers forwarded to their home address. Students should keep these papers to help solve any questions about obtaining credit.
DO I HAVE TO PAY ADDITIONAL FEES FOR A TRANSCRIPT ?
One transcript is provided free of charge upon completion of the program but the student must fill out the transcript request form provided and send it in to the UW-Platteville Education Abroad Office.

Additional copies of transcripts may be obtained for a small fee. Contact the Registrar’s Office at UW-Platteville. You can download a copy of the Transfer Request Form from their webpage.

HOW DO I KNOW IF THE CREDITS I TAKE ABROAD WILL TRANSFER TO EQUEST IF THE CREDITS I TAKE ABROAD WILL TRANSFER TO MY HOME INSTITUTION ?
