Course Equivalents

For students going abroad spring 2009 and after:

Please visit this link and read the instructions on the home page: Study Abroad Transfer Credit

(Students who have been abroad during spring 2009 and after do not need to fill out a course petition form.)

For students who have gone abroad any semester through Fall 2008:

Upon the completion of a study abroad program, students are required to submit a Petition for Course Substitution (does not apply to Rome & SEA Semester). This Petition tells OISP what NU equivalent courses to post to a students transcript.

The following is a list of NU course equivalents that have already been approved. No signature is required on the Petition if using an equivalent from this database. However, if a student is trying to satisfy a major, minor, or core requirement, they should confirm the NU equvialent with an advisor to make sure that equivalent is appropriate for satisfying the requirement. If the course taken abroad is not found on this spreadsheet, the student must take a course description to the academic department in which the course falls under, have it evaluated, and signed-off on using the Petition. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
