Frequently Asked Questions

• How Do I Start?
  Define your personal and academic objectives, then decide on the type and location of the program that suits you. Whether you go for a semester, year or during the summer will depend on your curricular needs and your finances. The type of program you select may also be restricted by your linguistic ability. Start the process by discussing your plans with your academic advisor and with a study abroad advisor.
• Am I Eligible?
  Unless you are on University probation, you are eligible to participate in any study abroad program for which you meet the prerequisite course and GPA requirements. All programs require a GPA of 2.5 or greater. Applicants must show evidence of maturity, stability, self-discipline, and strong academic motivation..
• Can I Get UConn Credit?
  ABSOLUTELY!! Students enrolling in an approved program through UCONN's Study Abroad Office retain continuous registration at UCONN while abroad, earning direct UCONN credits. It is, however, up to the student's academic department and school or college to decide how the credits may be used to fulfill major or college requirements. The number of credits you can earn depends on the program you choose. With proper advisor assistance, you can choose the program that best accommodates your plan of study and doesn't interrupt your normal progress toward graduation.

  The cost of studying abroad varies from program to program.
  • Exchange programs charge UConn tuition. The room & board is paid directly to the foreign university.
