Student Eligibility
A.
Graduate students may take courses at any level and in any department
as required by or approved by the student's major department. The student
must be currently matriculated at the home university and must be a
candidate for a graduate degree. (Home university is the university
from which the student plans to receive his or her degree.) Students in Canon Law, Medicine, Dentistry,
Theology, Social Work, and Nursing are excluded from the consortium.
B.
Undergraduate students may register for any courses through the consortium
to the extent that the courses taken are not available at American University.
All undergraduates must obtain the approval of the dean or department
chair of the field of the intended course registration (e.g., a student
who wishes to take a psychology course at another school must obtain
approval from the chair of the Department of Psychology at American
University, who will contact the appropriate counterpart at the other
school to receive clearance for the course registration).
1.
Noncredit courses will be counted for reimbursement purposes as 3 credit
hours.
2.
Nondegree students are not permitted to take courses under the Consortium
of Universities arrangement.
3.
Credit earned through the consortium is considered as residence credit
and thus fulfills any academic requirements of the university as specified
at the time of registration.
Note:
Any degree student may take special courses, such as private lessons
and tutorials, or courses given by arrangement with outside agencies
(such as the Corcoran School of Art, the Folger Library, the Smithsonian
Institution, the Washington School of Psychiatry), if listed in a catalog
of one of the universities of the consortium, subject to approved regulations
and course requirements. If there is a special fee for such courses,
in addition to the home university tuition, the student must pay this
additional fee. For regulations governing the application of tuition
remission for consortium courses, see regulation 45.10.05.
