Graduating Seniors
Graduating seniors should pay careful attention when selecting a summer program abroad so that their graduation is not affected. Programs offering a full six hours of UT tuition are scheduled to post on the UT transcript in time for the degree to be conferred in August. Courses taught by local faculty, called Affiliated Studies (AS), cannot be processed in time for August graduation. Affiliated Studies (AS) courses may take up to one long academic semester after the program ends for credit to post on the UT record.
Minimum Requirements
Students must be in good academic and disciplinary standing to apply to and participate in international education opportunities. Students may not be on disciplinary probation, suspension or deferred suspension at the time of application, prior to or during their time abroad. Students on academic probation due to a first-time academic integrity violation may apply and participate. Students on academic probation for repeat or serious offenses may not apply or participate.
Some programs may have additional eligibility requirements, such as GPA, course prerequisites, language requirements, etc. Meeting minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance to the Education Abroad program. An applicant's total educational and disciplinary record, educational objective, professional attitude, level of preparedness and interpersonal maturity, adviser recommendations, special talents, personal preparation and personal achievements may be considered in the selection process.
The University reserves the right to interview the student during the application process and to deny acceptance to any applicant for any reason the University determines to be material to the applicant's qualifications. Additionally, the University reserves the right to revoke acceptance at any time.
