How it Works for Andrews Students

Approved consortium classes earn Andrews University in-residence credits. This means they are part of your Andrews University course load, billed at your campus tuition rate, 和 paid through your financial plan.

Classes are currently registered for you by Global Campus 和 Records (not through 注册中心), so please follow these steps to enroll:

  • Discuss adding a Consortium class with your academic 顾问 first.  Enter keywords 和 use filters in the Acadeum course search to narrow options to two or three.
  • Check that the class fits within your course load f或者是 semester selected. As many Consortium classes are completed in 5 to 8 weeks, plan for a lighter load of full-semester classes to fit this intensive in to study time 和 your financial plan.
  • Once you have weighed up all the options, email your academic 顾问 your commitment. Your 顾问 then emails the the approved class 信息 (course title, 教学机构名称, start 和 end date selected) to Glynis Bradfield博士 在全球校区.
  • If the class is offered by another department, that department chair will be contacted by Bradfield博士 if this or a similar class has not been previously approved.
  • 一旦学生, 顾问, 和 department chair approvals are received by Bradfield博士 via email, the student is enrolled manually into a 960 section, the course appears in the semester schedule in IVUE 和 on your financial record. Emails confirming the registration will come from both Andrews 和 the 教学机构.

  • Note the start 和 end dates f或者是 Consortium course, as they will likely differ from Andrews semester dates. You are responsible for meeting 教学机构 deadlines, 和 communicating using the contact 信息 provided.
  • Communicate with the course instructor to clarify any learning activities, ask for tutoring or tech help, 和 to note any unforeseen changes that impede your progress.
  • If you feel withdrawal is necessary, review the withdrawal policy which should be included in the syllabus 和/或者是 course space. You will complete the Andrews 删除/添加表单, get your academic 和 financial 顾问's signatures, the Dean's signature if after the drop/add deadline f或者是 semester. Attach the signed form to an email to academicrecords@和rews.edu,复制 Bradfield博士 who will get the drop done with the 教学机构. You do NOT need the instructor's signature.
