In addition to the live instruction, students are expected to complete additional assignments outside of class to complement classroom activities. Keep in mind that each school has its own policies on how transfer credit is handled. We encourage you to contact us with any questions about how this process works. We're happy to provide syllabi for the courses so that you can provide them to your academic advisor for review.

Transcripting: Upon completion of the Spanish program, Ashland University issues an official transcript, which is mailed to a physical address requested by the student. This process normally takes around two weeks to complete after the student has completed the course. At the moment, there is not an option to issue the transcript electronically through Ashland University.
