CREDIT TRANSFER PROCESS

G-MEO Chengdu American Center is formed by a consortium of accredited American universities which offer both summer and semester courses from their official catalogs, and which are open to all American and international students, not just Chinese international students returning home. Upon successful completion of the program, one copy of each student's official transcript from Fairleigh Dickinson University or other partner university will be mailed to their home institution or any other required location.

It will be the students' responsibility to communicate with the related office of their home university in order to complete the credit transfer process.

*Please note that different universities have different procedures/steps to be taken in order to complete the credit transfer process after completing courses outside of the university.

*Different universities will have different policies on whether the grades you earn during a summer program will count as letter grades (ex. A, B, C, etc), or if they will count as Pass or Fail courses.

* Students applying for our study-abroad programs and wishing to take for-credit courses are advised that G-MEO cannot guarantee, or be responsible for, successful transfer of course credits to their home institutions.  Home institutions may sometimes decline to accept transfers of course credits for a number of reasons, including policies that do not provide for pre-approval of course credits offered at other schools.  Students must understand that it is their sole responsibility to apply to their home institutions for approval of successful transfer of credits regarding courses they wish to take.  Students registering for courses for which they have no assurance of credit transferability to their home institutions do so at their own financial risk.
