Thinking about Study Abroad?

Complete the following:

  • Meet with a CSC Academic Advisor during drop in, no appointment needed office hours to discuss your individual plans.
  • Review the steps needed to apply for Study Abroad here
  • Review your degree audit for classes you still need. Use the Pack Planner to plan your remaining courses up to graduation. Some courses are offered only at certain times, so it is best to have a projected long-term course plan. Your CSC Academic Advisors are happy to help with this process.
  • Download and print a copy of the Study Abroad Course Pre-Approval form.
  • Please complete all demographic information and the information asked for in the left-hand column (Study Abroad Courses) in full.
  • For courses that are in the transfer database, please copy that equivalency to the right-hand column of the pre-approval form. Please leave the right hand column blank for courses that are not in the transfer database.
  • Courses that are not in the transfer database need to be reviewed. Review does not guarantee approval. The department review process typically takes 2 – 3 weeks, so this process should be started well before the Study Abroad application deadline.
    • CSC Course review process:
      • Please use the CSC Syllabus Review form for each CSC class that is not already in the transfer database.
      • The next deadline to submit CSC courses for review is January 31 [Summer 2025] or February 7, 2025 [Fall 2025]
      • The CSC Department has a limit of 6 hours of CSC Restricted Electives and 6 hours of Other Restricted Electives that students can take abroad.
    • For all other classes (GEP and all other non-CSC) :
      • Please refer to page 2 of the Study Abroad Course Pre-Approval form. The center column of that form lists to whom the syllabus should be sent for review.
      • It is vital that you ask for review and NOT approval, as only your department and college can approved these courses. You are merely seeking guidance from the other department on how the course might transfer back to NC State.
  • Submit the Study Abroad Course Pre-Approval form via email to Ms. Marini when you have completed and compiled the above information.
