It is important that you consider all aspects of the program carefully. These include,
but are not limited to academic offerings, application requirements, housing options,
language of instruction, support before and during the program, as well as cost. SUNY
Plattsburgh does not recommend or advise on the details of non-SUNY programs.
It is the responsibility of the student to ensure that the program issues academic
credit from an accredited institution. Students need to ensure an official transcript
is sent to the registrar’s office upon completion of their program, along with a certified copy translated in English
and all syllabi.
PLEASE NOTE: This process is lengthy and can impact future registration and your graduation date
if you plan to graduate upon return. All credits earned on a non-SUNY program will
count as transfer credit and grades will not count toward the GPA. Students should
consult their academic advisor regarding the maximum number of credits they may transfer
toward their degree and whether any courses must be taken at SUNY Plattsburgh. Also,
the Global Issues General Education requirement is not automatically fulfilled for
semester length non-SUNY programs.
All Plattsburgh students must complete the Study Away Course Approval Form before
the end of the semester prior to the start of their program and indicate that you
are participating in a non-SUNY program. Please carefully follow the instructions
outlined on the form.
