If you plan to take psychology courses elsewhere, you must get them approved in the Undergraduate Studies Office and your Dean's Office in advance before you leave campus. Only two psychology courses taken off campus while you are a Duke student may count towards the major; others may count towards the total of 34 credits needed for graduation. If you hope to have courses taken elsewhere count for credit in Psychology, bring a Tentative Approval Form to the DUS for signature. For study abroad, obtain the forms from the Study Abroad Office in 121 Allen; for study at other institutions within the U.S., obtain forms from 02 Allen Building. You may receive transfer credit, but not a grade, for courses not in Duke administered programs abroad (e.g. "Duke in France," etc.). The course numbers will be 888 for any lower-level courses and 999 for upper-level courses. Some courses which have exact equivalents at Duke will also be given credit for that equivalent course, but not a grade. You may receive credit and a grade for courses in Duke administered programs abroad (e.g. "Duke in France," etc.). For exact equivalents you will receive credit for that course. For non-equivalent courses you may receive PSY 40 for lower-level courses, and PSY 140 for upper-level courses. A separate suffix will be given to each of these standard course numbers. All forms should be signed by a Director of Undergraduate Studies and your Dean before you leave campus to take the course.
