The
full year course load taken at a foreign university, no matter
how many courses or hours this entails, is equivalent to a
full course load at Holy Cross; eight course units. Required
courses taken by students attending the Pre-University Language
Programs in France, Germany, Italy, Peru, Russia and Spain will be recorded
on student transcripts as ‘overloads’ and may not be used to make up a
college deficiency. Grades earned for the required Independent
Cultural Immersion Project are also recorded as ‘overloads’. No college
deficiencies may be made up at a Study Abroad Program.
Grades earned in Study Abroad Programs are ‘translated’
into Holy Cross equivalents (i.e., A, A-, B+, B etc.) and
recorded on a student’s transcript but are not calculated
in the student’s GPA.
