Students who wish to participate in a study abroad program may, if eligible, receive federal financial aid. To receive Federal Financial Aid, students must
(1) File a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA);
(2) submit to Financial Aid Services estimated costs for the program in which he/she wishes to participate; and
(3) secure a statement from the Registrar indicating that all credits earned will be accepted at full value at Graceland University.
Graceland recognizes credit for students who participate in study abroad programs. Initial assistance in proposing study abroad is available from the International Programs Office or the academic advisor.
Approval to study abroad can be obtained through the following procedure:
Students review the catalog from the university they plan to attend and using their degree audit sheet, identify classes that would appear to fulfill requirements in their majors, then consult with the appropriate faculty members for determination of course equivalency and any other needed assistance.
After completing the Study Abroad Proposal Form will then be returned to the Registrar's Office for final review. This form is to be used for the evaluation of transfer credit only. If you have questions concerning application of courses to major, minor or graduation requirements, contact the appropriate faculty member.
