Is UVA apart of a consortium?

<p>I was wondering if UVA was a part of a consortium of universities.
I’m from DC and most of the schools here (Georgetown, Howard, catholic, George Washington etc) are a part of a consortium of universities…meaning that if your home school doesn’t have or offer a class you need/want you can go to another school in the area and take the class. All while still paying your regular tuition at your home school.</p>

<p>Just wondering if UVA had anything like this.</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

<p>I don’t think so; there aren’t other universities nearby, so transportation between campuses wouldn’t really work. It is, however, possible to take courses here and transfer the credit to your home college or university.</p>

<p>Is that where the UVA Summer Session’s come in place? Can ANY students from other colleges/universities take summer courses at UVA? I really wanna do it. But still confused about the whole thing. Is it too late to do it now? Sorry for all the questions, just worried.</p>

<p>There is no consortium here. We are a comprehensive university and while we don’t have every course under the sun, most students have a hard time narrowing down the options at first. It is said that there are 1200-1500 courses offered each year and you only get to pick five at a time. :)</p>

<p>Most schools allow students from other schools to take summer courses.</p>

<p>it kind of depends on your level. </p>

<p>at sufficiently advanced levels, professors are willing to do individualised instruction for very narrow topics … you could even design your own coursework and get it approved (you have to present your plan strongly of course).</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>well I once overloaded with 23 credits … 8 courses total.</p>

<p>try not to do that your first semester though.</p>
