The SRH University of Applied Sciences is characterized by its international orientation and student body. At SRH, students learn in 5-week blocks or 8-week blocks.

Class Format

You will receive continuous performance feedback throughout your studies.       

Classes at SRH are typically scheduled Monday through Friday. You are expected to attend face-to-face sessions.  

ASU online courses meet in “sessions” that are 7.5-weeks long in the semester, and all work must be completed within the session dates regardless of when your other CIEE courses begin or end.

Grading

CIEE reports all final course grades to students’ home institutions using a U.S. letter grade equivalent scale of A-F. For CIEE-administered courses, students’ grades are based on attendance, class engagement, homework, project work, presentations, and midterm and final examinations. Learning outcomes assessment is continuous through personal reflections, evaluation feedback, self-assessment, and requirements as set out in course syllabi. Host Institution courses at SRH are graded using a range from 1.0 to 5.0 with 1.0 being the highest grade and 4.0 being the minimum passing grade; CIEE reports final grades for host institutions course using recommended U.S. letter grade equivalents, following a predetermined grade conversion scale. 

ASU grading follows the same format and standards as ASU courses taught in-person. “Pass/fail” or “Audit” is not allowed for CIEE students.
