Step 2: Select Possible Courses for Approval

• Go online to the study abroad website. Click on “Once Accepted” and then on “Program Course Descriptions” and select your program. Choose courses you are interested in that may fill requirements you need (get an updated copy of your progress sheet). We approve business courses and non-business electives for you. A&S Core are approved through Study Abroad. It will be your responsibility to bring us proof showing that any A&S core courses you take have been approved for core so that we may apply them to your degree.
• Print a description for each course you want us to evaluate. Choose a maximum of 10 courses for evaluation.

Step 3: Fill Out Forms
You need to fill out two forms.
1) Get the “Academic Advising Form for CU-Boulder Programs” from the Study Abroad office or website. Fill out the top portion of this form.
2) Fill out the “Course Listing” form (available below). Make sure you fill out the entire form, including what you are hoping the course will count for.

Step 4: Submit Materials and Schedule an Advising Appointment
To be eligible to make an appointment, you must bring the course descriptions, your study abroad approval form with your name and the institution you are attending filled in, and the Course Listing form to the Undergraduate Student Services Office. When you drop these documents off, we will schedule an appointment with you for 5 business days later. During your appointment (plan for at least 30 minutes), an advisor will explain the results of the evaluation to you and discuss your academic plan. We will then sign the Advising form, which you need to submit to Study Abroad.
