Courses are arranged in the seminar and lecture style, and grades are based on one final exam or a combination of assessments and a final exam. In order to determine what level a particular class is, pay attention to the last number in the course title. Courses that end in a 0, 1 or 2 are 1st year courses (lower division); courses that end in 3 or 4 are 2nd year courses (lower division); courses that end in a 5 or 6 are 3rd year courses (upper division); and courses that end in a 7 or 8 are 4th year courses (upper division). Most courses at UL are equivalent to 3 U.S. semester credits. Students take 4-5 courses and receive 12-15 credit hours per semester, or approximately 3 semester credit hours per class.
Not all courses are offered every semester or every year. The course selection may vary, and no course is guaranteed. Some courses may have prerequisites, and some courses may require minimal additional fees for labs, equipment, etc. There are limited spaces available for international students in the equine studies classes. Most students are not be able to take more than one of these courses. Please contact the Aspire office for further details.
Registration takes place upon arrival; however, we recommend that after consulting the API website for course listings, students have 10 courses approved by their home university prior to departure, in order to allow for scheduling conflicts and the possible unavailability of certain classes. Students are asked to indicate their choices in order of preference on the application form. There is a 2-week add/drop period at the beginning of the semester in Limerick.
