Cross-Registration Policies
Students at American University are eligible to participate
in cross-registration under the following conditions:
POLICIES:
1. To be eligible for Consortium cross-registration a student must be
currently eligible for enrollment at American University and must be admitted
to a degree program. Non-degree students are not permitted to take courses
under the Consortium of Universities arrangement.
2. Ordinarily, students may register for a course through the Consortium
only to the extent that the content of the course taken is not offered
during the specified term at American University.
3. Courses that do not carry degree credit at the visited school cannot
be counted for degree credit at American University. American University
will not honor credit earned through Consortium cross-registration for
any course that is considered a non-credit course.
4. Credits earned through the Consortium are considered residence credits
and thus fulfill academic requirements of the university (excluding General
Education, University Mathematics and College Writing requirements).
5. Independent study projects, tutorial courses, institute courses, off-campus
courses, and non-credit courses are excluded from Consortium cross-registration.
For additional information, please contact the American University Consortium
Coordinator in the Office of the Registrar at 202.885.2208 or 2201.
6. Auditing courses through the Consortium is not permitted.
PROCEDURES:
The registration form must be completely filled out with both the AU Consortium
course number and the visited school's complete course number, including
section number and correct course title.
1. Students must obtain the signature of their advisor and of the dean
or department chair who represents the field of the intended course (i.e.,
if wishing to take an economics course at another school, the student
must obtain approval from the American University chair of the Department
of Economics).
2. Students are strongly advised to make prior arrangements with the Visited
school's department or instructor offering the course. Students are not
guaranteed a space in the course even if they have completed registration
procedures at American University. Note: students who wish to take courses
at the University of Maryland must register through American University
and with the Consortium Coordinator at the University of Maryland. Grades
will not be released by the University of Maryland without proper registration
at both schools.
3. Students registering for Consortium courses that require special fees
must pay any additional fees at the visited school. (See the Consortium
Calendar and the Schedule of Classes published by the visited school.)

The Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area is
a cooperative arrangement in postsecondary education that is designed
to permit the sharing of academic resources by member institutions and
to offer qualified students the opportunity to enroll at other institutions
for courses not available on their own campus.
Howard University offers its qualified undergraduate and graduate degree
students the opportunity to enroll in courses at any Consortium university
or college.
Students enrolled in First Professional Degree Programs in Dentistry,
Law and Medicine are not eligible to participate in Consortium cross-registration.
Before applying for a Consortium course, student must first complete the
Howard on-campus registration and be validated for the semester they are
interested in attending the Consortium. The student then presents their
validated sticker to the Consortium Coordinator when requesting the application
for the Consortium.
Students at Howard University are eligible to participate
in cross-registration under the following conditions:
1. Must be a fully admitted degree-seeking student.
2. Must be actively enrolled in courses at Howard University at the same
time that the Consortium course is being taken.
3. Cannot register for more credits at the Consortium school than the
number of credits the student is registered for at Howard University.
4. Must be in good academic standing.
5. Must obtain the following approvals to participate in the Consortium
cross-registration process.

Bldg, Room 104. After the form has been signed and validated with
the Consortium Stamp the student copy (buff) will be returned to the student.
This copy is to be shown to the instructor at the visited institution,
but it is to be kept by the student for
identification purposes at the visited school.
In special courses (such as private instruction in music or art, or tutorial
study) if a special fee is charged such a fee is not covered by the Consortium
Agreement and must be paid by the individual student to the institution
administering the course. This applies to lab fees as well. If fees are
not paid by the end of the semester in which they occur, a "Hold" will
be placed on future registrations until such fees are paid.
The total number of hours taken through the Consortium towards a degree
must not exceed forty percent of the total hours required for the degree.
Consortium courses are not approved for "audit."
As otherwise qualified, eligible employees and/or their dependent children
are eligible to participate in the Consortium Program, but cannot use
Remission of Tuition to pay for Consortium courses. Employees and/or their
dependent children must pay for Consortium courses in advance, and the
deferred payment plan cannot be used.
Courses to be pursued through the Consortium must be courses not available
at Howard during the given semester or year.
Students must follow the general registration procedures and pay the applicable
tuition rate of Howard University.

approval from the institution you wish to visit
MARYMOUNT PROCEDURES
SELECT A COURSE: Select a course you wish to
take by using the visited institution's course schedule located on the
World Wide Web: http://www.consortium.org.
For your convenience, office copy schedules are available in the Registrar's
Office in Rowley Hall.
COMPLETE A CONSORTIUM REGISTRATION FORM: Forms
are available from the Registrar's Office. Obtain the signatures of your
academic advisor and School dean.
FILE YOUR CONSORTIUM REGISTRATION WITH MARYMOUNT'S
CONSORTIUM COORDINATOR: Return the completed Consortium registration
form to the Marymount Registrar's Office. After eligibility requirements
have been verified, the Consortium Coordinator signs your form, gives
or sends you your copy, registers you for the course, and notifies the
visited institution.
PAY TUITION AT MARYMOUNT'S STUDENT ACCOUNTS OFFICE:
Tuition for your Consortium course is paid directly to Marymount using
Marymount's tuition rates. You must observe Marymount's payment schedules
and deadlines. Attendant course fees, lab fees and other special fees
must be paid directly to the visited institution.
MARYMOUNT IMPORTANT TO KNOW
COURSE IS CLOSED/CANCELED: The visited institution
will attempt to notify the Consortium Coordinator if the course is full
or canceled, who, in turn, will try to notify you in time for you to choose
an alternate course. But it is your responsibility to assure that the
class is still available to you.
DROPPING A CONSORTIUM COURSE: If you wish to
drop your Consortium Course, you must file a drop form with Marymount's
Consortium Coordinator immediately. Failure to observe the proper drop
procedure may result in a grade of "F" recorded on your permanent record.
Refunds follow the Marymount refund schedule and procedures.

the Consortium program are reported directly to Marymount by the visited
institution. You do not have to request the visited institution to forward
your grades to Marymount. Warning: The visited institution reports grades
according to its own policies, procedures, and deadlines. These grades
probably will not be available until 4 to 6 weeks after the completion
of the course.
TRANSCRIPTION: Grades and credits earned through
the Consortium are recorded on the Marymount transcript as if they were
taken at Marymount. If necessary, Marymount will convert the visited institution's
grading system as close as possible to Marymount's system.
GRADE POINT AVERAGE: Courses taken through the
Consortium are calculated into the Marymount credit totals and grade point
average.
GRADE REPORT: If your Consortium grade is not
available at the time your Marymount grade report is mailed to you, an
updated report will be mailed to you at the mid-point of the following
semester.
COURSE REPEAT: If you repeat a course, Marymount
forgives the lower grade by not calculating it into your credit totals
and grade point average. You must repeat the same course, offered by the
same institution, for Marymount to forgive the lower grade. Courses with
the same title offered at different institutions do not apply.
