To study abroad, students must meet the following criteria:
- Possess and maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0
- Students with a 2.50 to 2.99 will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
- Be in good standing with the university
- Have completed at least one year of full-time study at ÂÜÀòÊÓƵ University by the time of departure
- The university reserves the right to refuse any student's request to study abroad based on conduct, health, or other considerations.
