Choosing Your Courses

Courses at UniOvi are organized by year, but the year a course is offered does not necessarily indicate its difficulty. Exchange students may take courses from different years of a degree program, including fourth-year courses, without them necessarily being more advanced than second-year courses.

Exchange students should choose one faculty/school in which to focus their studies. Course schedules are organized by faculty and different faculties are located on separate campuses, so it is generally not possible to take courses across multiple faculties or schools.

Assessments/Exams

Please note that there are typically fewer assessments (both formative and summative), and often less classroom contact time, at host universities than you might be used to in the U.S. With more weight placed on fewer assignments and cumulative exams, you should expect to approach your learning with more independence. 

Course Approvals Process

If you are accepted to your program, you will submit your planned courses for approval through Temple's External and Exchange Course Approval Process. Completion of the approval process will allow you to maintain full-time enrollment status, apply eligible financial aid to your program, and transfer credits earned abroad back to Temple.

Transferring credits back to Temple

Temple will accept approved courses with a passing grade equivalent to a C or better. After Temple receives an official transcript from your host institution, our team will evaluate the transcript for approved courses and determine credit equivalencies. We will post qualifying courses and equivalent credits to your transcript at that time. Your Temple GPA will not be affected by grades earned on an exchange; however, keep in mind that graduate schools will typically request all of your transcripts. Learn more about Temple's transfer credit policy.

*UniOvi classes typically transfer on a 2:1 ratio with Temple (e.g. 6 UniOvi credits equals 3 Temple credits).
