Visiting Student
Students at Shippensburg University have the option of taking courses at one of the thirteen other schools in Pennsylvania's State System of Higher Education. Under the Visiting Student Program, courses you take will be recorded on your academic record at Shippensburg and the grades you receive will be included in your QPA calculation. This program is intended to allow you to take advantage of courses available across the State System, without loss of institutional residency, eligibility for honors or athletics, or credits toward graduation at the home institution.
To participate in the Visiting Student Program, you must have completed at least 12 credits and be in good academic standing. Students may take a maximum of 24 credits via the Visiting Student Policy. Advance approval is required from your academic dean. This program may not be used to repeat any D or F grades earned at Shippensburg University.
Please contact the Registrar's Office for additional information.
Application for Visiting Student
Cooperative Agreement with Wilson College
Through a cooperative agreement Wilson College and Shippensburg University students may schedule courses on each other's campus. Wilson College students may schedule courses at Shippensburg, and Shippensburg University students may schedule courses at Wilson. The course credit will not be treated as transfer credit. Course work will appear on the student's official record along with the grade earned. Students will register and pay tuition at the institution at which they have been matriculated.
A list of courses being offered at each institution will be available. To schedule one of these courses you will need to have the approval of your major department and your academic dean. Once this permission is obtained, you will schedule the course through the Registrar's Office at your home institution. Attendance will also have to be approved by the other institution through appropriate procedures. Most course offerings at each institution will be open to those students at the other institution who have the necessary prerequisites for entry into a course. However, you may not schedule at the alternate institution a course available on your own campus. Your course load, including the course scheduled at the other institution, should not exceed the maximum for your home institution.
