<p>Question for you, wisedad. </p>
<p>If I read you correctly, you’re saying that a student can use the acceleration credits if s/he wants to do a semester abroad and still graduate in 8 semesters. But isn’t a student who does a semester abroad still “enrolled” in the semester s/he’s abroad? According to Yale’s rules, the acceleration credit can’t be used to reduce the number of courses you take if you “enroll” for eight terms. I know that at my D’s college, a student who took a semester abroad was still “enrolled”; we did not pay the (approved) abroad program directly. Instead, we paid ordinary tuition to the university. That’s SOP at many schools, I believe.</p>
