Princeton Program: University of Queensland
Brisbane, Australia
Academic Program
UQ offers courses in practically every department found at Princeton. As is true at Princeton, the faculty at UQ are engaged in both teaching and research. Princeton students from a wide range of departments have studied at UQ. Of particular note are offerings in psychology, engineering, environmental and marine science, and the humanities.
Princeton Credit
At the end of the semester or year abroad, students will be issued an official transcript from UQ, which will be reviewed by the Office of International Programs for credit. Students must earn the equivalent of a C or above in courses taken abroad in order to receive Princeton University credit. Credit is not given for courses taken on a pass/fail basis.
The official UQ transcript becomes a part of the returning student's permanent file. A copy of the transcript will be sent to the student's academic department at Princeton. Courses but not grades from UQ will appear on the Princeton transcript. Grades for junior independent work completed abroad are recorded on the Princeton transcript.
The standard for grading at UQ is as follows:
| Australian Grade | Description | Recommended U.S. equivalent |
| 7 | Pass with high distinction | A |
| 6 | Pass with distinction | A- |
| 5 | Pass with credit | B |
| 4 | Pass | C |
| 3 | Fail | F |
| 2 | Fail | F |
| 1 | Serious fail | F |
