The consortium of Midwest Catholic Graduate Schools
(MCGS) has established the
protocol whereby a degree-seeking student at one university may
take course work at any of the other three universities to apply
toward degree requirements at the home institution. Participating
universities include:
- Loyola University, Chicago, IL
- Marquette
University,
Milwaukee, WI
- University of Notre Dame, South Bend, IN
- St. Louis University, St. Louis, MO
With
prior approvals, the student enrolls at the home institution
and makes financial arrangements there, but attends classes,
on a short-term basis, as a visiting student at the host university.
Final grades are forwarded from the host to the home university
for listing on the student's permanent record.
Restrictions
The following
restrictions apply:
- Participation is restricted to those
fields of study which are under the academic jurisdiction
of the graduate deans at both the home and the host institutions.
- Non-degree or temporary students may not participate.
- The degree-seeking student must have completed at least the
equivalent of one full term at the home university before
visiting one of
the other institutions.
- A student may gain approval for more
than one visitation at more than one host institution,
but no more than nine credit semester hours of courses from
host
institutions
can become part of a degree program at the home institution.
Requirements & Deadlines
To
participate, a student must complete, for each course to be taken
at a host institution, an Inter-university Visitation Enrollment
Form and must obtain required signatures of approval. Because
of the paperwork involved and the number of approvals that must
be obtained, the student must begin the inter-university visitation
application process:
- No later than June 1 for a fall term visitation
- October 1 for the spring term
- March 1 for summer sessions.
Interested students should contact the Graduate School Office
for additional information and enrollment forms.
