All Travel-Study grades are recorded as regular UCI Summer Session courses, on a UCI transcript, with a notation that the courses were taken abroad. For example, if a student studies in Cambridge, there will be a notation next to each course that says “Course taken in Cambridge, England.” Students will not receive an official transcript from the foreign institution.
UCI students do not need to transfer grades, because courses taken during UCI Travel-Study Programs are UCI Summer Session courses. Travel-Study grades and units will automatically be recorded on the UCI Transcript, and grades can be viewed on Student Access. The letter grades will count towards your GPA.
A UCI transcript with Travel-Study course grades and units will automatically be sent to the registrar on your home campus at the end of the summer, in addition to your current mailing address.
If you are a UC student the units and grades will automatically be calculated on your transcript and will count towards your UC GPA.
All students are responsible for checking with their registrar’s office to confirm grades were received. You may call the Travel Study office AFTER checking with your home school registrar to ask about grade transfer issues. Students must meet with an academic counselor to obtain major or minor credit.
If students need additional official transcripts, please request them from the UCI Registrar’s office. The fee for additional transcripts is $13 per copy. Refer to the UCI Registrar’s Office website. Please make a check payable to the Regents of the University of California. Check and transcript requests may be sent to:
UCI Cashier’s Office
228 Administration Building
Irvine, CA 92697-1975
Students are enrolled in UCI Travel-Study courses by the UCI Summer Session Office. All students must be enrolled in two courses. Courses cannot be dropped after the start of a program, except in extreme circumstances, by written petition only. Refunds are not granted for dropped courses.
You have the choice of taking classes for a Letter Grade, or Pass/Not Pass. On certain programs, course changes may also be made.
Students have up until the end of the third class period to finalize their course and grade option. After this time, course or grade option changes will not be accepted. All course changes and grade options MUST be sent by e-mail to the UCI Travel Study Office, with the exception of Cambridge. Please visit the Enrolled Student Website for course and grade-option change details.
