1. Is there a specific time frame in which students are required to declare a major in your department? If yes, when?

NO.

2. Does the Undergraduate Adviser (staff) sign the Education Abroad Program academic planning form, or must a faculty adviser (professor) sign?

I SIGN IT; WE DON’T HAVE FACULTY ADVISORS ASSIGNED TO STUDENTS.

3. Should we advise students to make an appointment to have their academic planning form signed in your department? If so, do they need to bring a transcript or any other supplemental materials with them to their appointment?

THEY SHOULD COME TO OFFICE HOURS, MONDAY - FRIDAY 9-12 AND 1-4. THEY DON'T NEED A TRANSCRIPT.

4. What is the maximum amount of major credit given for courses taken during the education abroad program? Is this maximum calculated by number of courses or by units of credit? Please explain.

THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF COURSES IS 4; WE DON’T NECESSARILY COUNT UNITS.

5. Are students in your department able to undertake senior honors theses the semester following EAP participation or are there restrictions? Please explain.

YES, THEY CAN DO AN HONOR THESIS WHEN THEY RETURN.

6. Does your department calculate EAP grades into the departmental GPA?

NO

7. Are EAP grades counted towards departmental honors?

NO

8. If you represent a department which teaches foreign language, does your department award major credit for the courses taken during the Intensive Language Program (ILP) portion of the EAP program? If so, please explain.

N/A

9. Does your department distribute a special information sheet for your majors which includes advice on how to articulate participation with EAP with the major?

YES!

10. If yes, do you also provide this information on your departmental website? What is the URL?

11. Finally, most EAP students are required to officially declare their major before departure. Returning EAP students who attempt to register through Tele-BEARS from abroad need adviser codes to pre-enroll for courses. What is your departmental policy on releasing advisor codes (AC's) to EAP students?

THEY LOOK AT THE ON-LINE SCHEDULE, SEND ME A MESSAGE WHAT THEY PLAN TO TAKE AND I SEND THEM THE ADVISOR CODE. (THIS IS ALSO EXPLAINED ON THE HAND-OUT.)
