The German academic calendar is very different from the American calendar. 奥尔登堡的夏季学期从3月下旬持续到7月, 冬季学期从10月到2月. OU students choose to study there either for just the Sommersemester term, 或者从10月开始的整个学年. Students who go to Oldenburg during the Sommersemester may choose to study on campus at OU during the preceding winter term, 或者他们可能会让开放大学的冬季学期放假. Students will depart for Germany a few weeks before the end of OU’s winter semester, so those in classes here on campus make arrangements in advance with their professors to finish their coursework early or to complete it virtually.

课程 at UO are quite demanding and students are expected to be organized and self-motivated. A tutoring program is available to students who request extra help, and a student buddy program offered by UO’s international office pairs German learners with local students for conversation practice and help adjusting to life in Oldenburg. Students typically meet their buddy online well before they arrive in Germany. 

在学期结束时, students will receive a transcript with German grades from 1 (excellent) to 5 (failing). OU converts these grades to American letter grades, which go on students’ OU transcripts.
