All UVA Education Abroad programs are credit bearing, and students participating in them will receive an official transcript upon completion of the program, outlining earned credit hours and grades. Depending on the program you attend, the transcript may be issued by UVA or by our partner institution overseas. If you participate in a UVA DIRECT CREDIT program, you will receive a UVA transcript. If you participate in a TRANSFER CREDIT PROGRAM, you will receive a transcript from the host school. You can determine whether a program offers transfer credit or UVA direct credit by accessing a particular program's webpage and reviewing the Facts Sheet section.
Transfer of credits from a UVA Education Abroad program to your degree program is determined by your home institution, therefore it is important that you understand your home institution's credit transfer policy prior to enrolling in a study abroad program.
Transcript Timeline
One official transcript is provided at no additional cost to you and will be mailed to the address specified on your Approval of Participation Form. It typically takes two months after the program has been completed to process and mail the transcripts. Students with outstanding bills will NOT receive a transcript.
