The Academic system 

Academic institutions function differently from universities in the United States. The specifics vary from one institution to another. You may encounter differences in things like how Add/Drop works, how assignments graded and weighted, how professors interact with students, how placement tests work, how tests are weighted in the final grade, etc.  We've provided information below to help to get students prepare for the different academic experiences they will have on CIS Abroad's programs.

To get an overview of AUR, you can visit their website. 

We recommend that students familiarize themselves with AUR's Academic Regulations, including maximum credit hours, add/drop policy, attendance policy, academic accommodations and more. 

Transcripts 

You can expect your transcript to be returned to you approximately one month after program end date. AUR transcripts only come in hard copy format and will be mailed to CIS Abroad. Pending no financial holds, CIS Abroad will send your transcript to your U.S. institution and will inform you of the tracking number. You do not need to do anything further.
