GSA utilizes the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) to award academic credit for coursework. For transfer to RISD, 2ECTS is equivalent to 1 RISD credit.
Exchange is available in the following GSA academic departments:
Differently from most other partner schools, the deadline for admission to the GSA Exchange Program for incoming students for either semester (Fall/Spring) in the upcoming academic year is May 1st. This will be strictly adhered to due to the large number of applicants received each year.
Note: the GSA Painting and Printmaking department can only accept students in Fall semester.
The entire application process will be completed using an online application portal. Apply the semester before you plan to attend.
