If you become a foreign exchange student, do your credits transfer back to your high school?
I would maybe like to be a foreign exchange student, but not if I have to take that year over again that I missed. I would plan on doing this my junior or senior year and plan on going to Mexico. Would my credits transfer there? and also where do you sign up for foreign exchange? Thanks

In order to receive credit for sure you have to use a program registered with CSIET. If you do not, it is likely that you will not receive credit. You should also take to your school's guidance councilor about this as they will know about what students have done in the past and what they recommend. The CSIET website is here: http://www.csiet.org/ Most foreign exchange programs have a website for you to submit an online application.

You would need to ask you high school as they are the only ones that can answer that question.

Yes, of course they do! Many times, the grades don't figure into your cum.

What makes you think any school outside the US even uses "credits"? You will need to ask your school what the system is for people who spend time being educated in a different education system.
