Study Abroad C3IS

Study Abroad C3IS

It is a program that allows international students to study aspects of Spanish culture in both Spanish and English, combining their own subjects with UC3M's undergraduate and humanities courses.

Founded more than 20 years ago to satisfy the academic requirements of some of the best North American universities, such as: Boston College, University of California, Duke University, Johns Hopkins University, Marist College Madrid, Vassar-Wesleyan Program in Madrid, Washington University and organizations such as CIEE, IES and Accent.

Rules and Regulations of Hispanic Studies at UC3M

1) Justified absences:

The following reasons will be exclusively considered as justified absences:

• Illness or medical visit. Requires an official medical certificate or equivalent with the approval of the coordinator.
• Exams. Absence during exams. Requires only official documentary proof.
• Unavoidable administrative procedures (obtaining or renewing official documents, appointments at Public Administrations, etc.). Requires an official proof of the appointment.
• Scheduled study trips. Requires prior communication with the Coordinator of the Hispanic Studies program.

The faculty will monitor class attendance on a daily basis.

From now on, the students themselves will be responsible for sending their absences directly to the professors, as long as they have the approval of their US University program director/coordinator at C3IS. Without the approval of the program director/coordinator, the justification is not valid.

The justification may be sent in writing or by e-mail.

2) Unjustified absences: All absences not included in the previous section are considered unjustified.

• The first unjustified absence is not counted.
• Students will have their final grade for the subject reduced by 0.3 points in case of a second unjustified absence.
• If a third unjustified absence occurs, the reduction in the final grade will be 0.5 points.
• The fourth unjustified absence of a student in a subject will result in a failing grade, although the student may continue attending classes if desired.

Professors who detect cases of students with three unjustified absences must report it to the Study Abroad C3IS, who will in turn inform the coordinator of the corresponding program.

*Remember that in order to take an undergraduate course in Spanish you must have a minimum level of B2.1 in Spanish (high advanced)].
