Students who wish to receive academic credit at IECR receive a transcript of the number of class hours completed, subjects covered in class and the teacher's evaluation of performance. They can present this Certificate to their college or university for credit.
Generally, one semester unit of credit is granted for each 15-20 hours of class time. Thus, a 4 week program of 4 hours of class daily would generate 4-5 semester credits.
The administrator of the student's school must agree to his or her participation in the program. Students need to make all arrangements directly through their university prior to beginning the program in Costa Rica.
