Course Equivalencies

MATES Process

Courses taken abroad may fulfill major, minor, and general education requirements.

UPrograms

Students studying on UPrograms do not need to submit coursework through MATES. Instead, please do the following:

  • Review the UM Study Abroad database to find your proposed courses and note the UM course equivalencies listed. These equivalencies have already been approved for University of Miami students participating in UM Study Abroad programs.
  • Share the listed equivalencies with your Cane Navigator so they can confirm how the courses will apply to your degree plan before you go abroad.
  • If you do not see your courses in the database, please contact your study abroad advisor for next steps.
UM Partner Exchange 

Students studying on UM partner exchange programs should:

  • Review the UM Study Abroad database to find their proposed courses and note any UM course equivalencies listed.
  • Share this information with your Cane Navigator so they can help verify how the courses fit within your degree plan prior to your semester abroad.  
  • If your proposed courses do not appear in the database, you will need to complete the MATES process to obtain UM course equivalencies. Instructions are available here.
