APPROVAL, & PROCEDURES |
| REGISTRATION |
|
|
Do
students enroll in NMSU courses while studying
abroad?
|
Yes. All
NMSU students studying abroad will be registered
by the Office of Study Abroad in a Study Abroad
Course (for transfer credit programs), in a special
distance education course (primarily intensive
language programs), or by a course instructor
in a regular NMSU course.
|
|
|
Do
students enroll in courses at host institutions
while studying abroad?
|
Usually. Most
NMSU students studying abroad will be registered
in courses at host institutions. Exceptions are
group travel as part of an NMSU course and internships
which require students to complete work assignments
instead of courses.
|
APPROVAL
PROCEDURES
|
|
|
Who
approves enrollment in study abroad with NMSU? |
Usually
the colleges or the course instructor. Students
studying in programs for transfer credit will
obtain approval for transferring credit from
the Associate Dean of their college major (or
the AD's designate). Students studying in programs
for NMSU graded credit will obtain approval
for course enrollment from the course instructor.
Students enrolled in courses that involve group
travel will obtain approval for participation
from the travel organizer. Students enrolling
in a COOP program with an international assignment
will need approval of the Coop Office.
|
| |
What
forms are used to finalize NMSU approval to participate
in a study abroad program or activity? |
| NMSU
uses three Study Abroad Agreements, one for Transfer
Credit Programs, one for Resident
Student Travel Programs, and one
for International
Distance Education Graded Credit
Programs. The forms are used to collect essential
information to approve a students participation
in a specific program. |
| |
Do
undergraduate students require permission to
complete their final 30 credits at NMSU? |
| Yes. Each College is responsible for providing students
with a written waiver to complete any of their
final 30 credits while studying abroad. |
| |
Do
students have to complete WebCT orientation and fill
out the appropriate Study Abroad Agreement before
they are enrolled in study abroad courses? |
Yes. Completing
WebCVT orientation and filling out the appropriate
NMSU Study Abroad Agreement are conditions
for being enrolled officially in study abroad
courses.
|
| REGISTRATION
HOLDS |
| |
Will
NMSU Place a Hold on Future Registration and
Release of Transcripts? |
Yes. A
hold will be placed on future registration at
NMSU, or on the release of transcripts, should
a student fail to settle agreed upon financial
obligations to NMSU and/or to a host institution.
|
| |
If
I have unpaid charges on my NMSU account, will
a hold be placed on enrolling in an upcoming
semester's study abroad course? |
Yes. Students
may not carry over debt into the next semester,
so all previous semester balances must be paid
in full in order for the Offie of Study Abroad
to enroll students. Students
studying for the academic year must be certain
that the first semester's charges have been paid
in full or they cannot be enrolled for the second
semester, which may result in denial of financial
aid.
