General Information

Study Abroad Petitions are available in Student Services with Kris Smith and must be processed prior to the trip's departure for all students wishing to earn academic credit.
 
Academic Credit is granted and approved by the Registrar's Office. Please contact Jennifer Marsyla by email or phone (951.343.4404), for questions regarding the transferability of study abroad coursework, or to make an appointment.
 
A maximum of 18 units per semester may be earned for academic credit.
 
Before meeting with the Office of the Registrar, please have ready information about the institution you wish to study with and course descriptions of the possible courses you wish to take. A petition is not necessary to review coursework, but is required before the Office of the Registrar can register you for classes.
 
Generally, study abroad coursework is used to meet general education and elective unit requirements. We encourage all CBU students to complete their major/minor requirements here at California Baptist University.


Before Departure

If you have not already made contact with the Financial Aid Office to complete your financial aid and the Student Accounts Office to complete payment arrangements and financial clearance, you should do so at the earliest opportunity but no later than before the financial clearance deadline and your departure date.

During Your Study Abroad

It is important you continue to check your LancerMail (@calbaptist.edu) e-mail address for important communications from the University while you are abroad. 
 
If upon arrival at your study abroad destination you are required to enroll in coursework not already approved by California Baptist University, you should make contact with us immediately so we can review the coursework for transferability and applicability to CBU requirements.
 
During your semester abroad, registration for the next semester will begin. Specific information about when you may begin registering for classes on the web will be sent to your LancerMail. If you have difficulties registering on the web, please contact Enrollment Advising for assistance on completing your registration at advising@calbaptist.edu; (800) 782-3382 x4567 or (951) 343-4567.
