Semester-long exchange student?

Question

hi there:)

if I was to do a semester-long exchange to Japan, would the credits I earn there be counted at my current school here? In other words, will I be held back a year and not be able to graduate with my peers?

Also, if you've been an exchange student please provide any info about it, whether it was a full-year experience or a semester experience. thank you so much!!! ^^

Answer 1

I suggest you talk to your school about doing it. If you don't get all the credits abroad you can take summer school classes and community college classes when you get back, those will count for credits.
