More on Enrollment for Exchange and Affiliated Programs

In addition to your enrollment here at UTA, most programs also require students to enroll officially in courses after they arrive in-country. When you have officially enrolled in all courses at your host university, you must submit the Verification of Overseas Courses Form to the UTA Study Abroad Office through the online application system. The form must be submitted within 15 days from the start of your program in order to receive credit for your courses taken abroad.

After the transcript from the host university is sent back to the UTA Study Abroad Office, your grade and course name will be entered into the UTA system. If the grade you earn at your host university is considered a failing grade, you will receive an F in the UTA system.
 
UTA Faculty-led Program Enrollment Procedures

Students will either receive permission to enroll themselves in the UTA courses in MyMav or will be enrolled by the faculty leader for their program.
