Purpose of the Course Credit Approval Process
The Course Credit Approval Process and Form is needed for students traveling on independent programs. By completing this process and form, KSU Students will then be able to have credit granted for their study abroad AND receive financial aid for their courses. Without completing this process, no credit can be granted, and no financial aid can be awarded.
Before gaining access and starting the form, students MUST attend a Course Approval Form Training Workshop AND read through all instructions.
What is an independent program?
An independent program is any program that is not a KSU or USG Goes Global faculty-led program. The most common independent programs include exchange programs, affiliate programs, internships, directed study/research, and non-KSU programs. As the name suggests, students on independent programs travel on their own and are generally responsible for their own schedules. Due to the greater level of individual freedom, these programs require participants to be resourceful, adaptable, flexible, and comfortable with ambiguity.
