Instructions for CUPA Students who are applying for a School of Record Transcript through Spelman College
Some students who are applying for the CUPA program will find that their home institution requires a "School of Record Transcript" from an accredited, degree-granting institution in the United States in order to transfer credits from Paris toward their degree. For this reason, CUPA has established a relationship with Spelman College, which will issue transcripts for those students.
Conditions:
• Deadlines: the student must apply for a School of Record Transcript by June 30 for Fall/Year abroad, and December 1st for Spring semester. No exceptions can be allowed.
• The student must be enrolled in a full courseload with CUPA, 4 courses per semester.
• Each course taken with CUPA in Paris will be worth 4 credits.
• The student is responsible for checking both with Spelman college and with his/her home institution concerning credit eligibility for any exceptional coursework, such as: independent study, internships, student teaching, art studios, etc.
• The student agrees to pay a fee of $350 for this service, to be sent to CUPA with the application form.
• Spelman College will not process financial aid for School of Record students, but will sign a consortium agreement, if necessary, so that aid can be transferred.
Procedures:
1. Students must complete a CUPA/Spelman College School of Record Transcript Application Form, and return it to CUPA, along with a check for $350.00, made payable to CUPA (which is forwarded to Spelman College - CUPA retains no fee for this service).
