For more information on SEP application and other SEP places available to FASS undergraduates (including Philosophy Majors), please visit the FASS SEP website.A successful exchange requires careful planning well ahead of time. Philosophy majors should discuss their exchange semester study plans with their academic advisors. A list of philosophy courses they plan to map should be submitted to their advisors and the SEP coordinator as early as possible, and certainly before they leave for exchange. In order to protect the quality and integrity of the Philosophy major program, we are careful about mapping of philosophy courses for majors, so plenty of time should be allowed for the mapping process. Normally, students should go on exchange in their second and third year. We discourage exchange during the honors year because we prefer those receiving an honors degree from us to undertake the entire honors requirement in our department. SEP mapping of honors level course is limited to 1 course

Before submitting any requests, please refer to the user guide for students, which is available on the Student Portal (Navigation: Quick Links > myEduRec User Guides > Other Functions > Submit Course Mappings for External Study Program)

Things to take note of:

• Consult the department’s list of philosophy courses to find one with a description that matches most closely with the SEP course you wish to map
• Do provide detailed information about the course you wish to map (e.g., course description, level, credit worth, detailed syllabus, reading list, workload contact hours and assignments, etc.) and ensure accuracy in your submission. If such information is not readily available from the partner university's website, you should try contacting the instructor conducting the course in the partner university to obtain that information
• Please take note that without the necessary information, it is difficult for the coordinator to help you map the course
• Please note that students are allowed to map back only 1 level 4000 course during their exchange programme
