Baltimore Student Exchange Program (BSEP)

The Baltimore Student Exchange (BSEP) Program allows qualified undergraduate students the opportunity to take undergraduate courses offered at other participating institutions during the fall and spring semesters. At the end of the semester, the student's credits and grades from the host institution are submitted to Morgan State University and treated as resident credit. BSEP is open to full-time sophomores, juniors, and seniors registered on a full-time basis at the student's home institution provided the request is approved by the home institution's BSEP coordinator.

BSEP courses are only available during the fall and spring semesters. Students participating in the program must be full-time (12 credits) to participate in the BSEP Program. Part-time students may not participate. At Morgan State University, the BSEP course may be used to reach full-time status. Make sure the approved BSEP course will not take you over your credit limit.

BSEP registration forms will be accepted through the end of the add/drop period of the host institution. Confirmation depends on the academic calendar and registration period in place at the host institution.

Morgan State University students do not pay additional tuition for BSEP courses; however, they are responsible for lab fees, parking fees, and library fines. Most schools will not release grades if there is an outstanding balance. Any exceptional charges must be paid directly to the host institution.

• BSEP courses may not be taken pass/no pass, as an audit, or independent work.
• BSEP courses are treated as regular Morgan State University courses on the transcript. Credits will be calculated into the GPA.
• Students driving to a host institution are responsible for obtaining a parking pass for that institution.
• Some schools are accessible by the Collegetown shuttle at http://www.baltimorecollegetown.org/shuttle/ as well as through the MTA bus and rail.
• Students need to take travel time into account when including a BSEP course in their schedule. Course time conflicts cannot be accommodated.
• Registration policy for students participating in BSEP is determined by the host institution.

The BSEP coordinator will notify the home institution of any incident, action is taken, or appeal procedures. Further action is left to the discretion of the home institution (Morgan).
