Incoming Exchange Students: Pre-Arrival Guide

Academic Integrity

Academic credit
You will most likely have already addressed all your credit questions to your local advisor. However, here is a summary of credit transfer from University of Maryland: You are expected to register for a minimum of 12 credit hours (usually 4 classes) for undergraduates. You must have at least this number of credits or the BCIS will take issue with you. Graduate students must have at least 48 units (the BCIS measure) to reach full-time status.

Cheating
In many cultures it may be acceptable to cheat on exams and homework, but not in the United States. You will likely be expelled from the University. Please review the honor code and our behavior policy.
