Off-campus Enrollment

With college approval a student may take courses offered by another college or university that will apply toward his/her Rush degree. These courses are taken as integral parts of the student's curriculum, either replacing required Rush courses or fulfilling special or disciplinary objectives. Prior to registration at the other institution, the student must complete a Petition to Transfer Credit form to ensure the transferability of the course. The student is solely responsible for obtaining admission and registration information from the institution he/she wishes to attend and for meeting deadlines set by that institution for admission and enrollment. If the student is not enrolled for courses at Rush during the period in which he/she takes courses off campus, he/she must process a petition for a formal leave of absence. Students who will be simultaneously enrolled for courses at Rush should check with the Office of Student Financial Aid regarding the impact of taking hours split between two institutions on their aid. When the course is completed, the student must order an official transcript to be sent to the Office of the Registrar. Only upon review for an acceptable grade and compliance with any conditions outlined in the Petition to Transfer Credit approval will the course be recorded on the Rush transcript.
