Original course syllabi have to be officially sealed or stamped by the granting university. If the syllabi are not in English, they must be translated by an official translator.
  • Take the course syllabi to your advisor for processing. The advisors will submit the course syllabi and required forms to the appropriate department for review.
  • The responsible FIU department will examine the course syllabi and approve or disapprove the equivalency by signing the equivalency form.
  • The signed equivalency form will then be returned to the Civil Engineering Advisor for approval (or disapproval), and the student records will be updated accordingly.
