Study Abroad

• Meet with an advisor at the Study Abroad Office at UC San Diego
• Research where and when you will go
• Review the information pertaining to your major and minor programs 
• Review the UCEAP Course Catalog and the website of your host university and look at course offerings
• Begin your Academic Planning Form and collect course syllabi for the courses that you are planning to take.
• Meet with your Major advisor — Major advisor signature must be present before a Rady Advisor will review the form. 

• If you are planning on taking MGT 4 elsewhere, please contact Econ for approval.
• Students may obtain pre-approval for a course that will be taken abroad. When providing the UCEAP Academic Planning Form to a Rady Advisor, the students must also provide the current course description and course syllabus unless the course on the List of Previously Approved Study Abroad Courses (see the tab below). The Rady Advisor will review the course and determine if the course can be pre-approved to fulfill Rady program credit. 
• Pre-approval is preliminary approval and does not guarantee the course will be accepted upon the student's return. Pre-approval allows for expedited review once the student has returned and has formally submitted a student petition for review.

 How to use this guide: 

• Before you start searching for classes, we recommend you review your individual program requirements here.
• This guide is not intended to provide preapproval for coursework taken abroad. Instead, it is a guide during your planning process by listing courses that students have taken in the past. In order to obtain preapproval, you must contact our Rady Academic Advisors. 
• This is not a comprehensive list of all preapproved courses. 
• If you wish to take a class that is not listed, we encourage you to meet with our Rady Advisors during walk-in hours. Please bring the course description and the current syllabus for the course that you are requesting.
• Course descriptions for most classes may be found in the EAP Course Catalog. Review for individual courses can take between 3 - 5 business days. 
• Upon return, you must submit a final approval petition, even if the course is listed on the link above. You must provide a syllabus for all coursework being petitioned.  
• Students pursuing the International Studies - International Business and Business Psychology majors may use the link above for prior approval for core MGT courses. Major electives must be approved by the major department.

• Make sure you take the class for a letter grade.
• Contact us if the class is required as a prerequisite for another class.
• Make sure you request it transferred to your UC San Diego Academic History as soon as you finish your quarter.

• Make sure your grades appear on your UC San Diego academic history with a passing letter grade.
• Make sure that you have declared the Rady minor.
• Submit a petition to the Rady Advising office with the course syllabus attached and which minor requirements you would like fulfilled. If your course obtained pre-approval, please notate this in the student petition. 
• Please allow three to five business days for your audit to be adjusted. Final approval is contingent on the class transfer and the expectations of pre-approval.

• Students can apply a maximum of two transfer classes toward the minor; this includes community college, external university, and study abroad courses.
