UM-Flint Credit Option Course Approval
and Implementation Process
- Organizations interested in the UM-Flint Credit Option
typically enter into a written agreement with the University [view
sample agreement]. This
agreement outlines the roles and responsibilities of the University and its
partners and arrangements for sharing of tuition revenue. For more
information, contact
Robert C. Hahn in the Graduate Programs Office.
- In order for a course to be considered for UM-Flint
graduate credit, the sponsoring organization is asked to complete and submit
a credit option application which will
include basic information, a course syllabus and instructor vita, all of
which will be submitted to the appropriate University faculty for review and
approval. These applications may be submitted in hard copy.
- Applications should be submitted no later than 4 weeks
prior to the proposed beginning of the course so the faculty has a
sufficient opportunity for review/approval.
- Ordinarily, courses will be approved for 1, 2, or 3
graduate credits and will be provided with the course number EDU 593 -
Special Topics in Education or, in the case of courses for educational
administration, PUB 567 – The Principal, or PUB 582 - Schools & Communities. Unique subtitles will be used to
distinguish sections of EDU 593 and PUB 567/582.
- A maximum of six credits of such coursework may be
applied by students to graduate programs at the University of
Michigan-Flint.
- The Office of Graduate Programs will usually designate
one of its staff as an “Instructor of Record”; the course instructor will
provide grades to the Instructor of Record for timely posting. For
more information about grading, please consult
Grading Practices and Grades for UM-Flint Credit
Option Classes.

assistance with registration and tuition for students who opt to enroll for
