Please review all your syllabi and course materials when you are registering for classes (both pre-arrival and on-site). Certain classes may have a one-off lab or field trip fee that is disclosed in the syllabus or first meeting of class. You will be responsible for these fees, whether they are billed and paid by IFSA or billed to you.

ENGLISH
English majors receive priority registration for English modules. These students can select up to three modules, two "core" and one "option" module. Core modules are at the 200 level (level 2) and option modules are at the 300 level (level 3). Students will be pre-registered in "core" modules only. "Option" module registration will take place on-site at UCD. Non-English majors can select up to two "core" modules only, subject to availability.
PSYCHOLOGY
Psychology majors receive priority registration and can typically take a maximum of three to four psychology modules. Non-psychology majors can select modules subject to availability, although availability is typically limited.
HISTORY
History majors receive priority registration in history modules. Non-history majors can select modules subject to availability.

After you return to the U.S., IFSA will send a Butler University transcript to your home university and to your permanent address. The transcript reflects the courses taken, credits attempted, and grades earned during your term abroad. This service is included in your study abroad program at no additional cost.
