Academic Credit Information

How Do I Get Credit?

• Attend all meetings (you will need to make up any you miss).
  
• Complete all pre-travel assignments (guidelines and expectations for each will be provided with the assignment).
  
• Participate in all pre-travel and travel activities and assignments, including completing the research project and travel journal assignments.
  
• Uphold Ambassadorial behavior standards during pre-travel and travel phases (as defined by the Standards for Success).
  
• Leaders will evaluate all students with a Pass/No Pass for both pre-travel and travel phases of the program and will send a credit report to the Washington School of World Studies. This usually occurs within six weeks of returning from travel.
  
• The Washington School of World Studies will send a transcript to each student who receives a passing grade. Students can then provide the transcript to their high school to request academic credit (It is up to each individual school whether or not the credit is accepted).
