Students Enrolling at Consortium Institutions

All Marymount degree-seeking students in good academic standing are eligible to enroll in courses offered through the Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area and in synchronous online language courses offered by the Virginia Foundation for Independent Colleges (VFIC). See Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area for participating institutions and programs. Nondegree students are not eligible.

Degree-seeking students may enroll under the following conditions:

• The course must be recommended by the student’s advisor and approved by the student’s associate dean prior to enrollment.
• The course may not be offered concurrently at Marymount.
• Once a student is enrolled in a course through the consortium, the course cannot be changed to transfer credit after the consortium registration deadline.
• A maximum of two courses through the consortium and two language courses through VFIC may be counted for credit toward Marymount degree requirements.
• Students should not enroll in a consortium course in their first semester at Marymount, with the exception of students enrolled in the ROTC program. Students with extenuating circumstances may be approved to take other consortium courses in their first semester.
• Students should not enroll in consortium classes during the semester of their anticipated graduation. Taking a course outside of Marymount during the student’s final semester may delay his or her graduation.

Enrollment at Marymount does not guarantee enrollment at a visited school or a VFIC participating institution.

Students enrolled in consortium courses follow the registration, withdrawal, and grading policies of their home institution.

Consortium courses fulfill the minimum-credits requirement for residency.
