You may study as an exchange student for either one or two semesters. Your study will not lead to a degree. You will receive an academic transcript (record) that lists the subjects you've completed and the grade you've earned.

You will be required to provide both an academic transcript and proof that you have the required knowledge base in a subject prior to moving forward with your course registration.
