Texas A&M University System Health Science Center

Visiting Graduate Student Program between
Texas A&M University and The Texas A&M University System Health Science Center

Texas A&M University and The Texas A&M University System Health Science Center offer an impressive variety of outstanding academic programs and engage in significant world-class research activities. A cooperative visiting students program has been approved by both institutions to facilitate interested, qualified students in taking advantage of unique educational opportunities at both institutions and reduce procedural requirements for such students. Specifically, the visiting graduate students program allows graduate students enrolled at either Texas A&M University or the Health Science Center to take courses or engage in research at the other component during a regular semester or summer session.

Officials at Texas A&M University and the Health Science Center have each agreed to the following:

1. Accept for course credit and GPR calculation completed course work from one another's components;
2. Waive any transfer credit restrictions such that courses from either institution will not be included in any maximum allowable transfer credits;
3. Include completed coursework for transcript designation;
4. Provide timely approval of a student's proposed visitation, contingent on space and desired courses being readily available in the proposed visitation programs and, for participation in a research laboratory, on approval of the director or principal investigator of the laboratory;
5. Maintain enrollment of the visiting student at the home institution, subject to that institution's enrollment policies.
6. Send all official transcripts for visiting students in batch to the home institution's Registrar at the end of each semester, thus eliminating the need for individual transcript requests by the student.
• A visiting student will not be regularly admitted by the host institution
• A visiting student should not assume s/he would be eligible for transfer to the host institution
• A visiting student will not be eligible to receive financial aid from the host institution and the home institution simultaneously.

Additional details of this agreement are available through the Office of the Registrar at either institution. The application for concurrent enrollment may be found at www.tamhsc.edu/academics/registrar/forms/nondegree.pdf. The Health Science Center Office of the Registrar may be reached at 979-862-3430 or via e-mail at registrar@tamhsc.edu.

Once the application is completed, it should be submitted to the Office of Student Affairs in the school housing the courses for which the student wishes to register. At that time, further registration instructions will be given.
