Permission to study at another institution

With permission from the Registrar, Saint Anselm College students may take courses at another regionally accredited institution.  However, students who wish to take courses in their major must have the approval of the department chairperson as well as the Registrar for both the institution and the courses.  The Permission to Study at Another Institution Form is available in the Office of the Registrar.

It is the responsibility of the student to request that an official transcript be sent from the institution sponsoring the course to Saint Anselm College, Office of the Registrar, as soon as grades are posted.
