Inter-Institutional Enrollment

Undergraduates

The Inter-Institutional Registration Program at Towson University is designed to foster an interchange of students between Towson and other University System of Maryland institutions.  Certain private colleges, such as Goucher, Loyola, Johns Hopkins, College of Notre Dame, Morgan State University, Maryland Institute College of Art, Peabody Institute, and Villa Julie College also participate in a similar program called the Baltimore Student Exchange Program (BSEP), with no additional tuition costs to students.

Interested full-time degree candidates should contact the coordinator at Towson.  Students must maintain a combined full load (12 or more units) with a minimum of 6 units at TU.  With approval of the coordinator, students may register for one or two courses at the host institution.  Enrollment is on a space-available basis.  Students must obtain special permits or instructor consent to register for courses that require them at the host institution.  Students participating in these programs must follow the withdrawal deadlines at the host institutions.

At the end of the term, the host institution's registrar will send an official transcript to Towson, and the courses completed and grades earned will be posted to the Towson record and calculated into the Towson cummulative average.  Additionally, a notation will be made that the course work was completed through the program, indicating the name of the host institution.

Graduates

Students admitted to graduate programs are eligible to take courses at other University System of Maryland schools (with the exception of University of Maryland University College - UMUC - which does not participate in inter-institutional enrollment) on a space available basis.  Units earned at a host school will be placed on the student's Towson record with the grade earned.  Tuition and fees for any such courses will be paid at Towson.  Regulations governing this type of enrollment and the form for registration may be obtained in the Registrar's Office.  The form must be signed by the Registrar's Office after appropriate approval is obtained.  Inter-institutional enrollment is not available for Summer or Minimester.
