UNC IN SEVILLA

Spring LINT Program

Program Overview

The Lower Intermediate Spanish (LINT) program is intended for students who have completed at least Spanish 102. These students will take the required course SEVI 203 at COWA. LINT students will take the rest of their classes in English with other international students at Campus Universitario EUSA or at the University of Seville (so-called “Cursos concertados” / see below). These courses are offered in a variety of subjects such as: Marketing, Business, Art, History, Psychology, Sociology, etc.

LINT Course Listing

Students in the LINT program must take SEVI 203 – Intermediate Spanish at COWA and choose 3 or 4 additional courses in English at the University of Sevilla or EUSA. Students must seek credit approval from UNC for EUSA and Universidad de Sevilla courses.

Students in the Lower Intermediate (LINT) program may choose courses from the regular offerings of the university degree programs at the Campus Universitario EUSA. Note that the “year” refers to the year of the class in the Spanish curriculum (1 = ‘first year’, 2 = ‘second year’, 3 = ‘third year’, etc). The higher the course, the more background information you will be expected to know.

Instructions on finding courses and syllabi:

You should look for course information on the website of Campus Universitario EUSA. On this page, under the “COURSES TAUGHT IN ENGLISH SEMESTERS 1 & 2” you will find a list of courses offered in English organized by semester (fall is first), then by major, and finally by year (1st yr, 2nd yr, etc.). Syllabi are available on the Courses page. For language, enter “English” and select your semester.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

  1. When looking at classes, only the classes taught in the semester in which you are studying are available to you. These classes are listed as Semestre 1 or Semestre 2. You should look for Semestre 2 when searching for second semester (Spring) classes.
  2. The syllabi are not given for the “Asignaturas optativas” which are degree elective classes. All degree elective classes may not be taught every semester. The university will publish the full list of classes at the beginning of the academic year.

LINT students can also take classes at the University of Seville through their Courses for Foreign Students program (Cursos Concertados), organized by the Philology and Geography & History Faculties. These courses taught in English cover a wide range of subjects from Spanish language, history, and culture to social psychology, gastronomy, and teaching methodology. Please consult the list below for a sample of the classes generally taught during spring semesters and UNC equivalents for courses that were taken in the past. Please check to make sure the course is still listed on the UNC Pre-Approved Course List (see below), and if not, request a reaccreditation via the UNC Study Abroad Portal.

NOTE: This is a partial list, and classes may change according to the semester or academic year.

Academic Info

Registration Deadlines

You will register for classes before arriving in Sevilla. You will be allowed to make changes to your schedule during the first week of classes.

Course Load

The minimum number of credit hours per semester is 12.

Notes on Registration

As is true for registration at your home college or university, it is the responsibility of each student to make sure that (s)he has officially registered all course changes with the program.

Class Attendance

You are expected to attend classes regularly, take all exams as scheduled by the professor, and turn in written work as required for the individual course. In no case will the COWA staff come to your defense if you receive a low grade in a course due to your failure to attend class or to turn in written work.

You should also be aware that:

  • Traveling is an educational experience, but you are expected to schedule your traveling around your academic needs, not vice versa. If you are out of town and in the process miss an exam or fail to turn in written work, you will receive an “F” for that portion of your grade.
  • To receive credit for a course, you must be in Sevilla for the entire semester and take the final exam at the end of the course. If you decide to drop out of the program before the completion of a semester, you will receive no credit for courses that you began but did not finish.
  • If you miss a final exam due to illness or other legitimate reason, you are expected to reschedule the exam with the professor and remain in Sevilla until you complete the requirements for the course. It will not be possible to make up work in the U.S.
  • Under no circumstances will the final exam of any LINT course be given before the official published exam schedule.

Grades

All grades (notas, calificaciones) in courses will be based either on a number scale (1-10, 10 being the highest grade) or the words sobresaliente, notable, aprobado, suspenso. Students will need to receive a grade of 5 or aprobado to receive credit at UNC. The grades you earn will not count towards your GPA unless you receive a failing grade. Failing grades will be calculated into your UNC GPA as an F. Please refer to the credit information on the UNC Study Abroad website.
