If you are at least a sophomore in good academic standing, you may wish to consider Inter-Institutional/BSEP registration. The process is simple, with only one form to complete. You will pay TU tuition and the credits earned apply as if taken at TU.

The academic calendar, including drop/withdrawal deadlines, must be followed at the host institution.

Changes to your registration, including drop/withdrawals/grading options, must be handled through the TU coordinator at within the host institution's deadlines.
