Cross-Enrollment: Grand View

Procedures

1. Pre-Registration Planning:  Students who are interested in cross-enrolling should discuss their intentions with their advisor prior to registering for their Drake classes.
   • Students should ensure that the Grand View class will be acceptable toward their degree program.
   • Students should ensure that the Grand View class is available for cross-enrollment.  Cross-enrollment in nursing or education courses is subject to approval by the respective department.
   • Students should review Grand View's semester start & end dates, deadlines, and policies.  They might not be the same as those at Drake.
   • Cross-enrollment is not guaranteed, so students should have a back-up plan in case they cannot cross-enroll successfully.
2. Registration at Drake:  Before requesting to cross-enroll, students should register at Drake as usual.  Click here for registration times.
3. Submit a Tuition Waiver at the Student Records Office:  Once students are registered full-time at Drake for the semester in which they wish to cross-enroll, they should visit the Student Records Office at 104 Old Main to complete a tuition waiver ("cross-enrollment form").  This waiver does not guarantee the student's cross-enrollment, however it does verify the student's eligibility and must delivered to Grand View to complete the registration process.  The waiver is the student's ticket to cross-enroll.
   • Students should be prepared to list the following information on the tuition waiver: subject, course number, and section number of the class in which they wish to cross-enroll.
   • Click here for the Grand View schedule of classes.
4. Be Patient
   • Cross-enrollment candidates must deliver their completed tuition waiver in person to the Grand View Registrar's Office.
   • Cross-enrollment candidates must contact Jodie Jackson, Secretary to the Registrar at Grand View (515-263-2960), to set up an appointment in advance.
   • Grand View reserves the right to schedule appointments at their discretion.
5. Follow-Up:  Students are responsible for establishing and maintaining a connection with Grand View.
   • Obtain Grand View ID number, log-in information, email address, etc.
   • Obtain books and materials for the Grand View class.
   • Attend and participate in the Grand View class.
6. End-of-Term Wrap-Up:  After final grades have been submitted, Drake and Grand View will exchange official transcripts for the cross-enrolled students.
   1. Cross-enrolled students will not need to submit a request to have their Grand View transcript sent to Drake.  Grand View will do this automatically.
   2. Check whether your credits have been posted to your Drake record by viewing your unofficial transcript.

Restrictions

• Grand View will not restrict the number of students in any one course section.
• Cross-enrollment in nursing or education courses is subject to approval by the respective department.

Guidelines and Conditions

• The cross-enrollment sign-up procedure (described above) does not guarantee enrollment at Grand View.  It merely validates the students' eligibility for the program.
• Cross-enrollment is available on a first come, first-served basis.  Students must follow the proper procedure to secure cross-enrollment status for each semester that they would like to cross-enroll.
• The rules & requirements, policies, semester start & end dates, and other deadlines set forth by the host institution might be different than those at Drake.  Cross-enrolled students are responsible for knowing and complying with these policies and dates.
• Cross-enrollment status will be finalized by Grand View and Drake five business days before the start of Grand View's semester.  No cross-enrollment changes, other than drops, may be made after this point.
