Affiliated Programs
In Affiliated Programs are those for which TSU has an agreement with a foreign institution or organization and TSU students pay tuition and fees to the foreign institution or organization. Since the TSU students do not pay tuition and fees at TSU, they receive credit and a grade, but in some cases the grade is not calculated in the GPA on the TSU transcript for the course work completed abroad. An affiliated agreement guarantees that transfer credit will be awarded at TSU for the course work completed. Applicability for credit for TSU degree requirement is determined at the departmental level.
