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.
The American College of Greece
Add / Drops
Choose courses purposefully because ACG may ask you to justify if you need to drop a course
The add / drop period is within 2 days of the start of classes
Be aware that you might have to review alternatives with your Study Abroad advisor in your home institution
You must notify your International Operations Manager if you add/drop a course.
Transcripts
ACG provides a digital transcript which is available about 8-10 weeks after your departure. We will send the transcript directly to you and your university.
Please note that your transcript won't be released until your CIS Abroad invoice is paid in full.
