Transferring credits can vary at each university depending on their arrangements with CAPA. It’s best to speak with your CAPA Program Manager to find out your specific situation, but here are the  general steps:

• Meet with your registrar or academic advisor.
• Find out the appropriate paperwork you will need to ensure your courses transfer back to your home campus.
• Fill out CAPA School of Record forms if your school requires an official transcript for study abroad grades. Your CAPA advisor will send these to you and can help answer any questions you have.
• Go abroad!
• Attend your classes and work hard for great grades.
• Receive your grades.

Final grades are sent to your home campus four to eight weeks after classes end. If you need additional transcripts, contact CAPA Boston.
