credit transfer

When you participate in an AICAD Exchange with one of SFAI’s partner schools, all credits you earn while off campus will automatically transfer back to SFAI to count toward your degree. Prior to participating in an AICAD Exchange, you should meet with the Undergraduate Academic Advisor to review your outstanding courses and to tentatively decide which courses will be best to take while on exchange. Most students tend to focus on studio courses while on exchange, but you may be able to take a variety of classes as long as you discuss this prior to leaving.

It is also important to discuss what your course schedule will look like when you return from your exchange program. If you choose to take all studio courses while on exchange, this may mean that you have a heavy theory/lecture-based schedule when you return. To avoid this, you may want to begin taking more theory courses leading up to your semester exchange.
