Registering for Classes

For a UK Department Course, you'll need to work with the Department Chair, Director of Undergraduate Studies, or Director of Graduate Studies to figure out who can be your faculty sponsor for the independent study credit. You'll need to meet with the faculty member to create a learning contract before being allowed to enroll in the course. Normally your advisor will be able to help with course enrollment. It may seem like a big task to ask any of those people for help on this, but it'll be worth it in the end. If you're worried or need some tips, ask your UK Education Abroad Advisor for help!

For EXP 396, you'll need to work with the Stuckert Career Center and then find a faculty member who will be your faculty sponsor and will create a learning contract with you. Once you turn in a completed learning contract, the Career Center will enroll you in the EXP 396 course. We know approaching a faculty member about something like this could be hard. If you have questions on how to approach them, ask the Career Center for some tips and tricks.

You can take an online UK course while you are abroad, but you'll have to pay full tuition costs for the course and no online course will count towards your full-time course load requirement from the program or host institution.

If you want to withdraw from a course while you're abroad, make sure you'll be able to maintain a full-time status or at least the minimum course load required if you are participating in a summer program. Follow the program or host institution's withdrawal procedures and deadlines.
