International Transient Studies: For International Students at Emory studying in Home Country

General Information

As defined by Emory College, transient study is credit for summer school away from Emory College and is open to any Emory College student with fewer than 68 academic credit hours. (PLEASE NOTE: Students who want to complete transient study within the United States must submit an application directly to the Office of Undergraduate Education.)

Therefore, International Transient Studies is for students on F-1 or J-1 visa status, with less than 68 academic credit hours, who seek to return to their country of origin during the summer following their freshman year. Any student interested in returning to their home country and receiving credit for classes taken MUST apply via an online application through the Center for International Programs Abroad (CIPA) office. No student will receive credit for classes taken if they have not submitted an online application to CIPA and been approved for International Transient Studies by the stated deadlines.

For students (both international and U.S. permanent residents) who would like to study overseas and who do not meet the eligibility requirements for International Transient Studies please make an appointment to meet with a CIPA Advisor to discuss the study abroad opportunities available.
