The Fort Wayne Higher Educational Consortium is a group of seven area institutions, Huntington University, Indiana Institute of Technology (IIT), IPFW, Ivy Tech State College, Manchester College, Taylor University at Fort Wayne, and the University of Saint Francis. The Consortium permits Huntington University students to enroll in a regularly offered course during a semester (up to a maximum of four courses during a student’s academic career) at any other Consortium school under the following conditions.

1. Students must be enrolled as degree-seeking student at Huntington University.
2. Students must be enrolled in at least three semester hours at Huntington University and remain enrolled in that course during the entire semester. Students who withdraw from all Huntington University courses will also be withdrawn from the Consortium course.
3. Students may register for a Consortium course only if the equivalent Huntington University course is not available to them (is closed or conflicts with another required course) at the close of the advising and registration period. A student may register for a Consortium course that is equivalent to a Huntington University offering only if the student’s plan of study necessitates taking the course during a given semester.
4. Students may take only one Consortium course per semester. Consortium registrations are not available during the summer.
5. Students register for courses taken under the Consortium agreement at Huntington University. Consortium courses are treated as resident credit for purposes of satisfying graduation requirements, athletic eligibility and financial aid. The final grade earned at the Consortium school will be posted on the student’s Huntington transcript.
6. Students are charged the tuition they would pay if the course were offered at Huntington. The host (Consortium) school will bill students only for course fees, such as lab fees and materials fees. Students are responsible for paying any course fees directly to the host school.
7. Students must have permission of their advisors and of the University Registrar to enroll in a Consortium course.
8. Enrollment is subject to space being available in the course. The host school determines when to permit Consortium students to enroll.
9. Academic regulations of the host school apply to Consortium courses. Students are responsible for being informed about starting and ending dates for the class, vacation dates, academic regulations (i.e. last date to withdraw from a class with a W, grading policies, attendance policies), and other regulations which may differ from those of Huntington University.

1. Pick up a Consortium registration form at the Registrar’s office, or download it from http://huntington.edu/registrar/FWHEC.
