**********************************
If you plan to attend a Non-Emory study abroad program, you must submit a petition to CIPA to receive approval to transfer credit. Your petition must demonstrate a COMPELLING ACADEMIC REASON for studying on a Non-Emory program. Your petition will be evaluated by the Review Committee on 1) the appropriateness of your plan of study to your overall academic plan, 2) the quality of the match between your goals and the opportunities that the program offers, 3) the strength of your preparation at Emory, 4) the academic rigor and quality of the program, 5) the level of cultural immersion or integration in the host country, and 6) academic justification for not studying on an Emory program.
Prerequisites: Most programs have preconditions for approval, so students must meet or plan to meet the specified prerequisites for the program they want to attend. In addition, CIPA requires that all petitioners for Non-Emory programs:
Have and maintain at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA
Be in good academic standing
Enroll full-time at Emory the semester prior to their study abroad program
Meet the minimum language requirement (if any) as specified in the program description
Have completed at least 3 semesters (48 credit hours or equivalent) of college level work
Waiver: If you do not meet the above criteria, you can petition for a waiver by:
Obtaining two letters from faculty members supporting your request for a waiver; the letter from your Academic Advisor can count as one of the letters
Addressing your request for a waiver in your application essay - give specific reasons that support your application to study abroad despite not meeting the specified prerequisites, such as GPA requirement

If your petition is successful, you will be notified of your provisional approval within a month of the deadline.
