Please use the most recent International Plan Student Summary to check that you have completed all requirements.

IP Capstone

Taking your capstone course this semester?
Email internationalplan@oie.gatech.edu AND your faculty representative to let them know and get completion details! To check who your faculty representative is, click here.

Language Distinction - ACTFL OPI

If you just came back from a study abroad or exchange, consider taking the Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) administered by American Council for the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL)! Students wishing to receive the "Language Proficiency" distinction have the option to take the test. Students who pass the OPI at the requisite level of proficiency receive a “Language Proficiency” distinction on their transcript in addition to the regular International Plan designation.

Petition Process

If you have taken a class not on the Globally Focused Courses list but think it could count as one of your three course requirements, you may petition to be granted an exception to an IP policy or appeal an IP requirement. This especially applies to you if you took a country/region course abroad or possibly a special topics class.

To access the form, please click here. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please email ilana@oie.gatech.edu.
