Transcripts and Evaluations for Field Study and Exchange Programs

In order to record successful completion of your study away from campus for your Hampshire academic record and transcript, you need to obtain transcripts and/or evaluations from your field supervisor(s) or the institution you attended. Go to Transcripts and Evaluations for Field Study and Exchange Programs for information regarding the type of documentation required for an exchange program or a self-designed or course-based field study. There you will also find the appropriate person or office at Hampshire where you should submit your documentation after completing the semester.

Off-Campus Experience Report and Record of International Experience

Prospective and current students are always looking for first-hand information about hands-on experiences and studying abroad. If you spent all or part of your time away from Hampshire participating in an exchange program, internship, job, volunteer effort, or research project, to share your experience with other students, reach out to SPARC at sparc@hampshire.edu or the Global Education Office (GEO) at geo@hampshire.edu. This helps future Hampshire students find the abroad experience that is right for them.
