Introduction

A number of inter-institutional graduate student enrollment agreements have been established, enabling graduate students from one institution to take graduate-level courses at one of the other participating institutions. Students must be registered full-time (nine credit hours) between their home institution (the ºù«Ӱҵ) and their host institution during the semester they register for courses under the inter-institutional agreement. The institutions currently participating in inter-institutional agreements include the ºù«Ӱҵ, Baylor College of Medicine, Texas A&M Health Science Center, Rice University, the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston and the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston.

Registration Rules and Guidelines

• Requested class must not be offered by the home institution during the requested term/semester.
• Requested class must be necessary for the completion of a graduate degree.
• Students may not take a Pass/Fail or an Audit course.
• Visiting students may register for a total of no more than 12 credit hours outside their home institution, as part of the inter-institutional agreement.
• Number of credits allowed per term/semester may vary depending on the policy of the host school.
• All approval signatures must be completed.
• Foreign students taking inter-institutional courses: You must check with ISSSO regarding additional paperwork. Most host schools will require a copy of your I-20/DS-2019, visa stamp, passport ID page, and I-94.

Transfer Credit

• The host university should automatically send an official transcript to the University of Houston Office of the University Registrar — however, it is the student's responsibility to ensure that the transcript is sent and then received by the Registrar's office at UH.
• Credit will be applied toward the student's record after receipt of the official transcript from the host university. The course(s) will reflect as II Inter-Institution and carry the same course title as reflected on the host university transcript.
• The ºù«Ӱҵ course II Inter-Institution is applied since courses taken through Inter-Institutional agreements have no equivalent at UH.
• No grade is entered, and these courses have no effect on a UH student's grade point average.

Fees

Fees are paid directly to the ºù«Ӱҵ.
