Cross-registration
Full time students with a 2.0 or better average may register for one
course per semester at any of the participating colleges and universities
in the Northeast Ohio Council on Higher Education Cross-Registration
Program. This is an enrichment program, and courses eligible for cross
registration are those normally not available at the home institution.
Certain restrictions apply, and approval must be granted by the dean
of the appropriate college, and the registrars at the home and host
institutions.
Study Abroad
John Carroll University encourages students to study abroad, normally
during their junior year. Students are free to choose the country
and the university where they wish to study, provided they design
a program of study under the direction of their academic advisor,
department chair, and the coordinator for Study Abroad.
The Boler School offers a program of courses in London, England,
each spring semester. This program is designed specifically for sophomores
who intend to major in one of the programs offered by the Boler School.
A limited number of students are accepted into this program during
the fall semester preceding the program. Interested students should
contact the dean's office of the Boler School or the coordinator of
study abroad.
John Carroll University has special consortial agreements with the
Loyola University of Chicago Center in Rome, the Beijing Center in
China, and the Berlin European Studies Program; and has exchange agreements
with Sophia University (Japan), and Nanzan University (Japan). When
John Carroll students take courses at any of these institutions, all
grades (even Ds and Fs) and all credits received are entered upon
the John Carroll transcript and the quality point average is modified
accordingly. Financial-aid packages are applicable in these consortial
study abroad programs to students who qualify for aid according to
university financial aid guidelines.
Students may not take classes on a pass/fail option and must earn
grades of C or better in all study abroad course work.
Washington Internships
John Carroll University participates in semester-long internship programs
with the Washington Center and with American University, both in Washington,
D.C. Up to 16 credit hours may be completed and transferred to John
Carroll. Before participation, students must complete arrangements
through the office of the appropriate dean.
Courses at other accredited institutions
John Carroll students who wish to take courses at another institution
will ordinarily first consult with their advisor. Then they must obtain
written permission of the appropriate dean before
enrolling elsewhere. Course descriptions should be provided. For divisional
Core and/or special designations, syllabi may be required. The permission,
if given, will specify the terms under which credit will be transferred.
The student must request that a transcript be sent to the registrar
at John Carroll. A grade of C or better is required for transfer of
credit. In such cases, only the credits are transferred; the grades
received do not affect the student's quality point average at John
Carroll.
Note: Students who intend to earn transient credit from a
two-year institution (community colleges) may do so (after securing
proper approvals) provided the sum of the credit hours earned or in
progress at John Carroll or planned at the two-year institution does
not exceed 64 semester hours.
No more than two special designations (D, S, R, W) may be
transferred in to fulfill Core requirements.
