Concurrent Enrollment
Ask about Concurrent Enrollment opportunities
at your home institution.
Concurrent Enrollment allows you to retain your full time student
status and privileges while participating in OSEA. By paying a
small fee to your study abroad office, the courses appear on your
regular transcript from your home university. By using concurrent
enrollment you avoid the process of having course credits transferred
and you keep your financial aid and full time status.
