A student may enroll in a total of nineteen (19) semester hours of courses—excluding applied music courses—and not have an overload.  Applied music courses are not included in the total used to determine overloads.  Thus a student enrolled for 21 hours, two of which were for a piano or voice lesson, would not be considered to have an overload.

To enroll in a closed section of a class a student must obtain permission from the Chair of the Department (or her/his designate) offering the course.  In most cases the faculty member teaching the section may grant such approval.  This approval must be verified by that persons’ signature on the Schedule Change Form adding that particular course and section.

You must get permission from your advisor and the Registrar to attend another college as a “transient student” prior to enrollment at that institution.  When a transient course is being taken to satisfy a major or minor requirement the Chair of the major or minor Department must also approve the course.  When the course is taken after you have earned 90 or more credit hours your Department Chair’s approval is required.  These approvals will include a determination of course and credit equivalency.

Transient approval must be obtained before attendance each semester or term in which you enroll at another institution. 

Grades and credits for transient course work will be included in the computation of your Mount Union GPA.

MountUnionCollege approval to take transient work does not guarantee that you will be admitted or be allowed to take these courses by the other institution.
