Option A - Academic Credit from your HOME CAMPUS

Many U.S. universities will grant credit to student's based upon our classroom curriculum (syllabus) here at AZ Vienna German Language School.

1. Before registering for an German language course:
Clearly establish exactly which documents you need to give your study abroad advisor for evaluation of your planned course at AZ Vienna German Language School.

2. Order Information Folder for your study abroad advisor
The German language school has compiled an information folder especially for this purpose. Among other information it contains:
- Course Syllabi
- Classroom Hours, Course Levels and Class Credit
- Academic Policies and Procedures
- Faculty and Staff, Teacher CVs
- Sample Transcript

We are happy to send all relevant information to your study abroad advisor, German professor, language department chair or other person responsible for evaluating student's courses for academic credit.

Please provide us with name, department and email-address via our Information Request Form.

3. We will then send everything electronically to your study abroad advisor.

4. Discuss your plans to study German in Vienna with your advisor.

5. Register to attend AZ Vienna German Language School.

6. Confirm which documents you need (official transcript, your school's evaluation report, etc.) to provide your school with upon completing your course with the German language school.

7. Upon arrival:
* Please inform the secretary that you need Academic Credit on your first day.
* If necessary bring your school's Evaluation Report form.

Option B - Transfer Credits from our PARTNER INSTITUTION

If your university will not give you academic credit for participating in our courses you can enroll in one of our partner institutions where transcripts will come from an accredited U.S. university.

Most 4-year and 2-year universities and colleges in the United States will accept transfer credits from these schools. However, it is best to confirm this before registering for an German language course.

Before enrolling in one of our Partner Institutions:

* Confirm that credit is transferable from an outside institution.
* Clearly establish how to go about transferring the credits when you return.
* Determine in advance what documents you will need to give your university upon completing your course (e.g. official transcript, your school's evaluation report, etc.)
* Please note that tuition/enrollment fees will be charged by our partner institutions in addition to the German language course fees.
