THIRD-PARTY PROGRAM PROVIDERS听
Once students have reviewed FAU study abroad options, they may consider applying to a third-party program, which includes but is not limited to study abroad providers, other U.S. college/university study abroad programs, or a foreign institution abroad with whom FAU is not a direct enroll partner. FAU is committed to supporting all students in achieving their study abroad goals and provides support services for these options as well. If a student is interested in having coursework pre-approved for transfer credit at FAU, we will do our best to get courses pre-approved. It will be the responsibility of the student to collect course syllabi from the program provider. If a student wishes to access federal financial aid options, then a FAU Financial Aid Consortium Agreement will need to be completed.
