APPROVED BY THE PRESIDENT 1 AUGUST 1991
 
  I.    Policy
 
        In order to permit enrichment for students attending
        University of Maryland System institutions, opportunities
        exist for students to augment their programs by taking
        courses for credit at other UMS institutions.  The
        following are the procedures to effect inter-institutional
        registration.
 
  II.   Procedures--Home Institution
 
        A.   The student obtains the inter-institutional
             registration form from the program
             coordinator/registrar at the home institution, and
             secures approval from an academic advisor or
             department chairperson.  The student submits the form
             to the  coordinator/registrar who shall verify the
             information, and if appropriate, approve the request.
 
        B.   The home institution shall register the student for a
             generic.  This ensures that the student is "officially
             registered" at the home institution and would allow
             monitoring of the student by providing the registrar
             with class lists.
 
        C.   The registrar/coordinator shall inform the student of
             the registration days and times at the host
             institution and give one copy of the completed form to
             the student to facilitate completion at the host
             institution.
 
        D.   Upon completion of the course, the host institution's
             registrar/coordinator shall forward an official
             transcript to the home institution reflecting the
             grades earned and the courses taken there.
 
        E.   Upon official notification, the home institution
             registrar/coordinator shall post the grade(s)
             according to institutional policy so that they are
             calculated in the institution's academic totals.
 
        F.   In addition to the posting of the grades, the home
             institution shall make a notation on the student's
             record indicating that the courses were taken as part
             of an inter-institutional registration and list the
             name of the institution.  This information should
             appear with the semester in which courses were taken.
 
        G.   Students participating in inter-institutional
             registration programs shall be advised that they are
             expected to follow the change of schedule deadlines
             and pertinent academic policies in effect at the host
             institution for those courses in which they are
             registered.  Failure to comply with a host
             institution's deadlines/policies may result in failing
             grades or other academic actions which shall need to
             be resolved between the student and the host
             institution.
 
  III. Procedures--Host Institution
 
        A.   Upon receipt of the inter-institutional registration
             form, the host institution's registrar/coordinator
             shall arrange for registration at a time appropriate
             to the student's classification.
 
        B.   Incoming students shall be classified as inter-campus
             registrants to eliminate them from head counts and to
             alleviate any problems with billing.
 
        C.   Special permits, parking or other fees at the host
             institution are the responsibility of the student
             electing to participate in the program.
 
        D.   Students wishing to participate in the inter-
             institutional registration shall be accommodated on a
             course available basis.  Students are expected to have
             met the prerequisites or other criteria set for
             restricted programs of study.
 
  IV.   Procedures--Special Circumstances
 
        Those for whom a special situation exists (disability,
        special circumstances, etc.) may ask the home institution
        coordinator to facilitate the registration process for
        them.  Inter-institutional registration is a student
        responsibility, but exceptions shall be permitted when both
        coordinators at the home and host institutions agree that
        circumstances warrant action.
