Once students return from abroad, they have a lot to think about. How do they process what they just went through? How do they prepare for graduation? What will they do once they leave UNC Charlotte? UNC Charlotte Education Abroad (EA) has compiled resources to help Study Abroad Alumni navigate their way through the reentry process.
Grade Processing
Once students return from studying abroad, it will take time for their study abroad grades to be processed by EA (converting the grades from the host institution into A-F letter grades). Grades are then posted onto students' UNC Charlotte transcripts by the Registrar.
