Enroll in 1 CEA CAPA Core course, 1-2 CEA courses, and 2-3 UPF courses. CEA CAPA and UPF elective courses meet for 45 contact hours/3 credits. UPF language courses meet for 90 contact hours/6 credits. You may earn a total of 12-15 credits (up to 225 contact hours) for the semester. 

CEA CAPA elective classes meet twice per week, Monday-Thursday. UPF elective courses may meet 2-3 times per week, Monday-Thursday. UPF language courses meet daily, Monday-Thursday. Active learning components required by your courses may be scheduled for Fridays. 

Prior to departure, you will select your preferred courses and take an online language placement exam. If you choose to take a UPF language course, you'll take a language placement exam at UPF during orientation week. You will be enrolled into courses based on their availability. It is in your best interest to have multiple alternative courses approved by your home university prior to your departure due to course availabilities. To ensure that you receive credit for the language level you place into, have your home university pre-approve courses at several levels before you leave for Spain. Please consult with your academic advisor at your home university on credit pre-approval guidelines.
