Registering for courses with the Seville, Spain study abroad program is definitely different from how students register at UH Manoa. Pre-registration came before we arrived in Seville. After arriving in Seville, each students met with the school's Academic Director to finalize our course registrations. Also, we were given a week to add and/or drop courses during the first week of school. After registration at ICS, the Study Abroad Advisor will register your courses at UH Manoa.
The courses you take for the study abroad program transfer back to UH Manoa as the courses they are equivalent to. During registration, I was only granted two of the four courses I pre-registered for because these courses were no longer offered due to the insufficient number of students registered. However, after speaking to the Academic Director regarding the importance of taking these courses, I was granted an independent study. In addition, I also contacted UHM advisors to ensure the courses I am taking will transfer back as courses that will count towards my minor/majors. Tip: Never give up! Don't be afraid to ask questions and communicate well with the Academic Advisor, the Study Abroad Advisor, and UHM advisor to ensure you are registered for the courses you need and/or want.
