- Fall + January Term or Spring + January Term: 5.0 St. Olaf credits total (4.0 for semester and 1.0 for January Term)

- An official transcript will be sent from the program provider or university directly to the Smith Center with all of the student’s courses and grades listed. It can take anywhere from 1-3 months (sometimes longer) for the Smith Center to receive the transcript from our partner.
- Once the official transcript is received, the Smith Center translates course load credits, grades, and attributes pre-approved OLE Core/GEs to courses taken.
- Students are then notified that their transcript has been received. Courses, credit amounts, grades received, and OLE Core/GE attributes fulfilled are noted.
- The Smith Center then notifies the Registrar’s Office for official entry into the student’s record. Courses and grades will then be displayed in the student’s SIS degree audit and will be included on the St. Olaf official transcript.
