Graduate students who are in good standing in a degree program are eligible to elect courses at several graduate schools in Michigan with the approval of both host and home faculty.
This program for guest scholars enables graduate students to take advantage of unique educational opportunities throughout the state. (The home institution is where the student is currently enrolled in a graduate program, the host institution is where the student wishes to be a guest).

Students on a MIGS enrollment pay tuition and other fees normally charged by the Host Institution for the services rendered.
Please Note: Tuition waivers from MSU (e.g., GA-ship, Fellowship) cannot be used for this payment.
Residency status is the same as the Home Institution.
All credit earned under a MIGS enrollment will be accepted by a student's Home Institution as if offered by that institution.
Grades earned in MIGS courses will be applied toward the student's Michigan State University grade point average and used for credit toward a graduate degree as if the course were offered by Michigan State University.
A student may combine a part-time enrollment at the Home Institution with a part-time MIGS enrollment with the approval of the student's academic advisor.
MIGS participation does not necessarily modify fellowship commitments made by a Home Institution for a given period, therefore, specific arrangements for individual cases should be negotiated with the appropriate officials.
Enrollments are limited to six (6) credits for master's or specialist degree students or nine (9) credit hours for doctoral degree students.
The student is responsible for arranging to have transcripts certifying completion of work under a MIGS enrollment forwarded to the HOME Institution.
