Non-Emory Programs
If none of the 90 semester or 28 summer study abroad programs meet your academic needs, you may submit a Non-Emory Study Abroad Program Petition to request approval to receive transfer credit from another study abroad program. All petitions are reviewed by the Education Abroad Committee (EAC) and the decision of the EAC is final.
Non-Emory Petitions
Follow these steps to move forward with a Non-Emory Petition application:
- Schedule a meeting with Laura Boudon here to discuss the non-Emory petition process and key components of doing a non-Emory program.
- Meet with your Faculty Academic Advisor, discuss your plans in the context of your major/minor, GERs, and general academic career, and obtain their approval.
- Complete the online petition application, demonstrating a compelling academic reason requesting this exception and request course approvals.
Approved Non-Emory Petitions
If you obtain an approval from the Education Abroad Committee (EAC), you will:
Remain registered at Emory as an off-campus student.
Receive general transfer credit for approved courses taken on the approved petition program. Your earned credits will not be direct Emory credit and your grades will not be transferred.
Be able to utilize eligible federal and state financial aid. Emory grants or scholarships cannot be applied to non-Emory programs.
