Important Notices to Student:

·  For schools using the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), two ECTS credits equal one Law School credit. Students in the Uppsala exchange will want to register for two courses, one course during each session. In Uruguay, two credits generally equal one law school credit. Variance from these credit conversions is possible upon consultation with the Director of International and Graduate Programs, particularly when courses are taught in a foreign language.

·  For credit to transfer under Academic Rule 8.7, grades completed at the foreign university will be entered on a P/F basis upon certification from the foreign instructors regarding the “quality” of the student performance and, if necessary, any additional written or other assignment chosen by the Director of International Programs. A grade of 2.0 (“C” equivalent or better) is generally considered “quality” performance for transfer purposes.

·  The Director of International and Graduate Programs may also request course materials and written work of the student from the host institution to ensure that the program meets the standards equivalent to those employed at the Law School pursuant to ABA Criteria for Student Study at a Foreign Institution, Rule I.D.4.

·  The University of Minnesota requires all students studying abroad to obtain international health insurance. For more about this mandatory program, see: http://global.umn.edu/travel/insurance/outgoing.html#students-tab
