Academic Credit
Students who study abroad must fill out Course Equivalency Forms with their academic advisers prior to their departure to ensure they receive credit in their major, minor, general education, or Upper Division Theme.
There are two ways in which courses can be counted toward your graduation requirements at CSU, Chico:
1. They can be articulated as Chico State Courses This would apply to the courses that USAC or IP already converted to Chico State terminology (call numbers, titles, etc.)
2. They can be substituted for Chico State Courses This would apply to the courses that OIP/USAC did NOT convert to Chico State terminology (i.e. they just listed the foreign course title and number).
***All DIRECT EXCHANGE courses are handled this way
