Introduction
A number of inter-institutional graduate student enrollment agreements have been established, enabling graduate students from one institution to take graduate-level courses at one of the other participating institutions. Students must be registered full-time (nine credit hours) between their home institution (the É«»¨ÌÃ) and their host institution during the semester they register for courses under the inter-institutional agreement. The institutions currently participating in inter-institutional agreements include the É«»¨ÌÃ, Baylor College of Medicine, Texas A&M Health Science Center, Rice University, the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston and the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston.
