WHAT is a COLLABORATIVE STUDENT?
The North Dakota University System Online (NDUSO), a collaboration
of the eleven institutions in the North Dakota University
System, has made it possible for students to take courses
by distance delivery from several campuses at the same time
while retaining the benefits currently received by on-campus
students. The collaborative student is defined as a student
simultaneously (concurrently) enrolled in more than one college
within the North Dakota University System for a particular
term.
The institution from which the student is earning
a degree is considered the “home
institution.” The institution(s)
that supply courses for a degree are considered “provider
institutions.”
The collaborative process allows the home campus to combine
credit(s) from more than one institution for the purpose
of financial aid. At the home campus, a single billing statement
and an academic record will reflect the combined credits
at
both the home and provider institutions.
- To become a collaborative student, each student must
complete the following steps:
- Send a completed Application for Admission form to
the home campus, indicating your desire to become a collaborative
student.
- Send a $35 application fee to the home
campus.
- Send a copy of his/her high school transcript
or GED and all college transcripts to the home campus.
- Send ACT scores if he/she is under 25 years of age
at the start of the term.
- Complete the application
for Federal Financial Aid, listing the home campus
as the institution
to receive
the information.
- Benefits to the students:
- They may take courses from
any of the 11 NDUS institutions.
- They have access to a
wide range of courses.
- They will only have one registration
(at the home campus).
- They will only have one bill
for tuition and fees.
- They will need to send only one
application fee to one campus.
- Financial aid from home
campus.
- They are entitled to advisement from their home
campus.
