Your academic advisor or program/department chair can answer questions about how your chosen course(s) will fit with your specific program and academic profile.

​

With respect to grades, for courses taken in the Fall and Winter semesters, the grades are sent directly to the Registrar at the appropriate institution for processing.  For Spring and Summer courses, students are responsible for having an official transcript sent to their home institution.
