I’m hoping to go abroad to a university known for a very tough grading policy, and I’m a little concerned about the effect this could have on my gpa. I know many universities don’t do this and U of T doesn’t factor AP credits, but are credits from a study abroad program factored into our gpa?<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n
uoft has two study abroad opportunities: summer abroad, or exchange. depending on which one you’re talking about, the answer will be different.<\/p>\n
summer abroad<\/a> is a program where you complete a uoft credit, but you just do it in another country. in this case, the mark would appear on your transcript. if you’re doing an exchange through the CIE<\/a> (centre for international experience), then you would be doing another university’s courses and getting transfer credits for your uoft degree – in that case, the mark wouldn’t show up, only the credit.<\/p>\n so: does it affect your GPA? for summer abroad: yes. for exchanges: no.<\/p>\n cheers,<\/p>\n aska<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m hoping to go abroad to a university known for a very tough grading policy, and I’m a little concerned about the effect this could have on my gpa.
