Taking Courses Outside Salem State College
When schedule conflicts or other reasons prevent you from enrolling in a particular course at Salem State, an appropriate course offered at another institution may sometimes be accepted as a substitute. Permission to take such a course must be obtained on an Outside Course Request form available at the Registrar's. The form must be signed by the Department Chair of the subject area and must be filed with Registrar's prior to enrolling in the outside course. Failure to file this form may result in non-transferability of course credit.
Note that neither the grade nor the credits earned in a course at another institution are used in developing the student's GPA at Salem State. (See also NECCUM cross registration in the Salem State Catalog.)
