Concurrent Enrollment for International Students
Please read these instructions carefully before completing
enrollment form.
Do not enroll at the other school
until you have received permission from us to do so.
Concurrent enrollment means that a student is enrolled
at two USCIS approved institutions at the same
time. University of Indianapolis students who wish to enroll at another school
for a portion of their full-time
enrollment must receive the written permission of the
International Division before
enrolling in courses at the other school. Permission for concurrent
enrollment is not required
during the summer.
An F-1 student may co-enroll in two schools at the same time, if:
- Attendance at the other school is with the prior written permission
of the school where the student is
enrolled in a degree program full-time (the school that issued the student’s
I-20).
- The combined number of hours enrolled add up to a full course of
study (12 hours for undergraduates)
and 51% of the total hours are taken at the University of Indianapolis.
- The coursework at the other school will be accepted for fulfilling
degree requirements at the University
of Indianapolis, except if you are attending an English language institute
where none of the credit is
eligible for transfer.
Furthermore, the following conditions must be met:
- The student is not on academic probation.
- The student is not “out
of status” with the Bureau of Citizenship & Immigration
Services.
- The proposed courses are part of the student’s current
degree program (except English training).
- A new request for concurrent enrollment is required for every
semester a student co-enrolls.
- Requests for concurrent enrollment are to be
submitted and approved before the University’s add/drop deadline
(typically the Friday of the first week of classes).
Enrolling in courses at another institution
- Complete the form and meet with your key academic
advisor or major advisor about the
courses you want to take at the other school. Make sure these courses
will transfer back to the
University of Indianapolis. In addition, your advisor must sign
the form.
- Submit the completed form to the International Division. You
will receive a copy of the form when a
decision has been made regarding your request for concurrent enrollment.
Should the other school
require a certification of status from the University, inform the
International Division.
- Apply for admission at the other institution and enroll in the
courses that your academic advisor had
approved. Present proof of enrollment provided by the Registrar’s
Office at the other school (an
invoice or receipt is not acceptable) to the International
Division before the add/drop deadline at the
University of Indianapolis.
- Within one (1) month of finishing courses at the other institution,
request two official transcripts to be
sent to the following offices at the University of Indianapolis:
- Academic Advisor – to process the transfer credit and assign
equivalencie
- International Division – to verify compliance
with immigration requirements
Should you enroll at another institution without
the permission of the International Division or fail to provide proof
of enrollment and final transcripts, you have violated your immigration
status.
