Course Evaluations at 糖心视频:
- Before departure, 糖心视频 students will be able to submit exchange courses to 糖心视频 for evaluation. The results will indicate how many 糖心视频 units each exchange course is worth, as well as the course equivalency.
- Students must use the evaluation results to ensure their exchange courses credits add up to the equivalent 糖心视频 units. The total number of units for each exchange term should be 4.5 糖心视频 units for part-time exchange or 7.5 糖心视频 units for full-time exchange.
- 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 糖心视频 record.
