Assessments/Exams

Please note that there are typically fewer assessments (both formative and summative), and often less classroom contact time, at host universities than you might be used to in the U.S. With more weight placed on fewer assignments and cumulative exams, you should expect to approach your learning with more independence. 

Course Approvals Process

If you are accepted to your program, you will submit your planned courses for approval through Temple's External and Exchange Course Approval Process. Completion of the approval process will allow you to maintain full-time enrollment status, apply eligible financial aid to your program, and transfer credits earned abroad back to Temple.

Accessing Course List

At the top of this page, click the link for Courses Taught in English. On the page that appears you can see course lists for different years, and you can also find courses by clicking Find Courses at the center of the page. When you click on Find Courses, a new tab should open and you will need to click on the heading that says Course Catalog. Make sure that the College/School selection remains as "College." You should select the year and semester that corresponds for when you will be abroad. If the schedule for the semester you will be going abroad is not yet available, search for the corresponding semester in previous years (e.g. if you plan to study abroad in Spring 2022, you may look at the Spring 2021 schedule to make a tentative plan). Check the English-only Courses box, unless you intend to also take courses taught in Korean. You may also sort by GenEd or Major courses. If selecting Major courses, you will be able to narrow down your search by Department and Major. Click Search to load the course list. When you find a course you are interested in, click on the course number and a new window will pop up with the syllabus. The information may take a few seconds to load. To download the syllabus, click the Print button at the top of the new window and save the document as a PDF.

Transferring credits back to Temple

Temple will accept approved courses with a passing grade equivalent to a C or better. After Temple receives an official transcript from your host institution, our team will evaluate the transcript for approved courses and determine credit equivalencies. We will post qualifying courses and equivalent credits to your transcript at that time. Your Temple GPA will not be affected by grades earned on an exchange; however, keep in mind that graduate schools will typically request all of your transcripts. Learn more about Temple's transfer credit policy.

Hanyang Grading Scale

Hanyang classes typically transfer on a 1:1 ratio with Temple (e.g. 3 Hanyang credits equals 3 Temple credits).
