The Washington Consortium Arrangement
The University of Maryland is a member of the Consortium
of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area. Other institutions
currently associated with the consortium include American University,
The Catholic University of America, the University of the District
of Columbia, Gallaudet College, George Mason University, Georgetown
University, George Washington University, Howard University, Marymount
College, Mount Vernon College and Trinity College. Students enrolled
in any one of these institutions are able to attend certain classes
at the other institutions and have the credit considered "residence"
credits at their own institutions. Grades in these courses are calculated
into the student's GPA. The consortium permits both undergraduate
and graduate students to participate in programs such as the Research
Fellows Program and the National Institute for Citizen Education
in the Law. The policies governing registration through the Consortium
Arrangement are listed below. Note: Tuition remissions awarded to
graduate assistants and fellows may not be used to pay for consortium
courses at other universities. Graduate assistants and fellows must
pay for any courses they take under the consortium arrangement.
Graduate employees supported by grant funds may enroll in Consortium
courses as a fringe benefit.
