Academic Expectations: Study abroad means just that - study while living abroad. While Highline wants you to take advantage of your international experience and have fun, please keep in mind that the programs are academic! All students are required to take 15 credits during their study abroad program. We expect you to attend classes, do homework and take tests just as if you were on campus. All grades are reported to the registrar and calculated into your overall GPA, whether they count toward graduation or not.
