Course Evaluations at ������Ƶ: 

• Before departure, ������Ƶ students will be able to submit exchange courses to ������Ƶ for evaluation. The results will indicate how many ������Ƶ units each exchange course is worth, as well as the course equivalency.

• This course evaluation process will be made available and explained in detail during the pre-departure session in early October for Spring exchange terms and in late March for Fall exchange terms. Evaluations take 2-6 weeks to complete and will be emailed to students. 
• Course evaluations results are tentative until the end of the exchange term, when a second, final evaluation is conducted by OREM using the students’ exchange transcript, and the results are applied to their ������Ƶ record.
