All other ASU Global Education programs offer courses instructed by another academic institution. Students are enrolled in a placeholder course while they are overseas. The Global Education Program Coordinator will work with students to establish ASU course equivalencies for each of the courses the student has completed abroad. There is one designated equivalency provider for each department.

Equivalency providers are requested to review the information provided by the Global Education Office to determine the most appropriate regularly numbered ASU catalog equivalency for the course. Should the course be sufficiently different from any course offered at ASU or that absolutely no ASU catalog equivalency can be assigned, equivalency providers often elect to assign a "1DE", "2DE", "3DE", "4DE" or "598" Department Elective equivalency, with the original title of the course as the ASU title. Once the equivalency information is received from the designated equivalency provider, we will enter the information in our website. Upon receipt of each student's foreign university transcript, the Global Education Office will work with the ASU Office of the Registrar to drop the placeholder course and add the appropriate ASU course equivalencies.
