Resources for Department Heads

When students decide to participate in an Education Abroad program, they will be prompted to submit a credit preapproval request from the Transfer Credit Reevaluations and Approvals portal. This request is sent directly to the corresponding department head for approval. The Office of Education Abroad requires students to secure prepprovals for all credits they plan on receiving from their study abroad program. Without those preapproval requests, all credits received from their host university will transfer as GEN 000. We ask that department heads carefully consider students' approval requests to ensure that their credits transfer back fairly and accurately, according to Missouri State's catalogue. When in doubt, please reach out. If you are a department head and received an Education Abroad preapproval request that seems odd to you, feel free to contact the Education Abroad Advisor, Amy Huff, who works with students on transfer credit preapproval requests.
