I am a graduate student at another university and would like to take graduate course(s) at EMU.
If you attend a participating Michigan university, the Michigan Council of Graduate Schools has authorized the use of the MIGS form that enables graduate students from one Michigan university to enroll in graduate courses offered by another Michigan university without being fully admitted to that university.
Complete the MIGS form (see right column under "Download") and obtain your graduate advisor's signature along with the signature of the MIGS Liaison Officer at your university (typically the Dean or Associate Dean of the Graduate School).
Submit the form to the EMU Graduate School in 200 Boone Hall.
The form will be circulated to the department offering the course for instructor and department head signatures.
The form will be returned to the EMU Graduate School for signature by the EMU MIGS officer.
The form will be sent to the Office of Admissions where you will be admitted and you will receive a letter of admission with your student number.
Once you have a student number, you then may register online for the course. See center of the course schedule book/bulletin. You will pay EMU tuition and fees.
When the course has been completed, you must request that EMU transcripts be sent to your university in order to receive transfer credit. This is handled through the Office of Records and Registration, 303 Pierce Hall.
If you are a graduate student from another state or non MIGS school you may follow this procedure:
Complete the Application for Graduate Admission by marking the bottom box for guest student. Submit it and the application fee to the Office of Admissions, 401 Pierce Hall.
In addition, submit sealed documentation from your university registrar indicating that you are a student in good standing who will return to complete a program of study. This will prevent the need for official transcripts to be sent to EMU.
