Study Abroad Course Database
Some students are experiencing issues accessing the Study Abroad Course Database. Please be sure that you are connected to the campus VPN and if on campus, also connect to the URWIN Wi-Fi network before attempting to access the database. If you are still experiencing access issues, please notify the Helpdesk.
Students planning to study abroad can use the Study Abroad Course Database as a tool to determine how a course will transfer back for UR credit. The database is a list of courses that have received prior approval. For current course offerings, please consult the specific program brochure pages on the Study Abroad website. If you see a course you want that is not listed, you may request approval utilizing the Study Abroad Course Approval Form (non-business students). For Robins School of Business Students will utilize the Study Abroad Course Approval Form for the Robins School of Business.

Do I still need to complete the course approval form?
If a course you are planning to take is listed in the study abroad database, then you do not need to submit a course approval form.
-
I see a course listed in the database but it is not currently being offered at the study abroad institution, what do I do?
You should consult with an advisor within the Office of International Education regarding available course offerings.
-
I finished my course(s), how and when will my transfer credits be applied to my transcript?
To receive credit, an official transcript must be sent directly to the University of Richmond.

I see a course offered that is not in the database, what should I do?
You will need to submit the Study Abroad Course Approval Form (for non-RSB students) or Study Abroad Course Approval Form for the Robins School of Business. Once you have obtained the required signatures (you, department chair(s) and your academic advisor) on the course approval form, submit the form to the Office of the University Registrar for processing.
