ISU Students Interested in Cross Enrollment at DMACC

Eligibility

  • The program is available only to undergraduates and is available only in the fall and spring semesters.
  • ISU students must be registered full-time (at least 12 credits - not including the cross enrolled course) for the semester in which they want to cross-enroll.
    • Cross-enrolled students must maintain their full-time status at ISU for the semester in which they are cross-enrolled, or they are subject to getting billed tuition charges by DMACC.
  • Students not able to cross-enroll, are still permitted to register for the class as a regular student (not cross-enrolled). Consequently, students would need to complete DMACC Admission requirements and pay all tuition and fees.

Guidelines

  • Cross-enrollment is available on a first come, first-served basis. Students must apply for cross-enrollment status for each semester that they wish to cross-enroll.
  • The rules & requirements, policies, semester start & end dates, and other deadlines set by DMACC might be different than those at ISU. Cross-enrolled students are responsible for knowing and complying with DMACC policies and deadlines.
  • The Cross Enrollment application does not guarantee enrollment at ISU. It a validation of eligibility and a request for enrollment.
  • Cross-enrollment status will be finalized by DMACC, 5 business days prior to the start of DMACC's semester. No course changes, other than drops are permitted after this point.
  • The credits earned at DMACC will be reflected as transfer credit on the cross-enrolled students' official ISU transcript.
