Students unable to register for EDU 362/Michigan Student Caucus at UM-Ann Arbor may take its sister course at UM-Flint.

The project is the same, and you'd still be participating in one large group with students from UM-Ann Arbor and elsewhere. It is an online course, so you would not need to attend any classes in Flint.

Here's what you'd need to do:

(1) Get permission from your advisor. This usually isn't a problem, since other students have gotten permission to do the same thing in the past, though some programs are picky about when and how guest classes are taken.
(2) Fill out a "guest application," which requires an official signature from Ann Arbor (again, ask your advisor -- Ann Arbor may have a form, or you can download a generic one at http://www.umflint.edu/resources/offices/admissions/guest.php)
(3) Take the guest application to the (Ann Arbor) Registrar, which will certify and send it to Flint.
(4) Register for the course at Flint. You'll get a separate bill, which comes out to something like $900 for in state, $1600 for out of state.
(5) After the course is over, request a transcript from Flint, and transfer the credits (and grade) to Ann Arbor.

You should start this process ASAP -- getting the Registrar to process everything can take a couple weeks.

The course at Flint is EDU 225-W1, "Participation in Interactive Communications & Simulations." It may also come up with it's subtitle, "Michigan Student Caucus." One thing to note: The Flint section is 3 credits, while the Ann Arbor section is 4. The course is essentially the same -- the difference is due to institutional reasons.

Please let me know if you decide to go this route....
