Independent Study Abroad
Complete the Independent Study Abroad registration if you are a UNM degree-seeking student and the following conditions apply to you:
- You will be participating in a for-credit academic program outside of the United States
- The program you will enroll in is not organized by UNM or by a UNM partner institution or provider (if it is, you should find the program on the UNM Study Abroad Program Search Page and complete that registration instead)
This application includes a $300 credit transfer fee, which you must pay in order to transfer the credit you earn abroad to UNM. If you do not plan on transferring credit from your program to UNM, you need not pay the fee. Please note that you must complete this registration regardless of whether the program on which you will participate will take place during the regular semester or during a break, and you must pay the credit transfer fee before your credits will be transferred to UNM. Payment of the fee does not guarantee that your credits will be accepted for transfer or that they will count towards your program of study; you are strongly advised to confer with GEO and with your academic advisor before committing to participate in any non-UNM study abroad program.
If you are unsure if you need to register, which program you should register for, or have any issues with the registration process, please contact your GEO advisor.
