<p>If those study abroad courses were not offered via the Quaker Consortium, by one of the four member colleges, they are not the subject of this inquiry.</p>
<p>It is commonplace for institutions to just give credits, not use the actual grades, for courses taken at other institutions where they have no relationship. That is not at issue here. The issue is specifically whether they use the grades for courses offered by members of a consortium of which they are a member. Not courses taken outside of such consortium.</p>
<p>Amherst uses the grades from its consortium members.
Pomona uses the grades from its consortium members.
Penn, Haverford and Bryn Mawr use the grades for their consortium members.</p>

<p>If Swarthmore doesn’t it would be the sole outlier, at least that I’ve encountered so far.</p>
