Course Equivalencies Available on OSCAR |
|
For students who will participate in a semester exchange program, there is new information regarding transfer credits available on OSCAR.
Certain courses from some of our exchange partners have been given standing approval from GT's academic departments. This means that if you are going to transfer a course from one of our exchange partners, you may not have to seek individual approval for that course (if it appears on OSCAR). You can find these courses on the Transfer Equivalency Table at https://oscar.gatech.edu/pls/bprod/wwtraneq.P_TranEq_Ltr. As of December 2008, there are course equivalencies posted for HKUST, Leeds, Monterrey Tec, Sciences-Po, ITBA, NTU, and NUS. However, more courses from more schools will be added continuously. Please contact an EA advisor if you would like more information.

| International Students and Scholars |
International Student & Scholar Services is the unit of OIE that assists newly admitted and current F-1 and J-1 visa holders at the Georgia Institute of Technology. There are several staff available to assist you with questions regarding maintaining good F-1 or J-1 status, work options, and other immigration questions. In order to be up to date on issues, please check out the InTECHnational News which is our main forum of communication with current F-1 and J-1 students and scholars. |
| Study Abroad Students |
OIE is the first point of contact at GT for information on studying abroad. GT currently sends about 33% of undergraduates abroad by the time they graduate and has a goal to increase this to 50%. OIE has information on GT's 50+ summer and semester programs abroad, on the International Plan, and on the application and other procedures needed to make a your study abroad plans a reality. |
