Please carefully review the following instructions

submitting course approval requests

Using both the partner university’s website and UW’s Course equivalency pages for a current match, make a list of courses you would want to take.
If you do not see a current course match, then you will need to contact the appropriate advisor via email for a course approval. We also recommend that you select extra courses as changes may occur after arriving to the host/partner university.
1. Send an email to the appropriate Math advisor – responsible for a course subject area, requesting a course approval and UW equivalenT. Make sure to include the following details:

  • Subject line: term abroad and host schoolie: F17 LEEDS Exchange
  • Your Full Name with UW ID#
  • Name of the Host/Partner university (where the course is being offered)
  • the course title with code/number
  • the course description, and URL link and/or syllabus(if available)
  • suggested UW course match, and/or any other information that you feel may help with the assessment

Please copy the Math Exchange Coordinator (Cathy Honsberger) at all your correspondence.

2. The advisor will email you back if you have been approved for either:

a)an exact equivalent, with the name of an existing UW course (i.e. ACTSC 446). Course content is close enough to a UW course content, or

b)an unspecified equivalent (i.e. ACTSC 3XX/STAT 4XX/CS 4XX). The advisor has determined that the host/partner university’s course is relevant to your program without having an exact equivalent match at UW.

In replying to you, the advisor should have copied the Math Exchange Coordinator - Cathy Honsberger. If not, please forward your approval(s) to so that your file can be updated for Credit Transfer.
