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 University of Houston) 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 University of Houston, 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

• 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 University of Houston 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 University of Houston.
