Step 1: You must consult with Dr. Beeching to discuss your interests, eligibility, course offerings etc.

Step 2a: If you want to take the Marine Biology (MS 241) course taught by Dr. Beeching, professor in Biology, simply complete an ADD card and submit it to Dr. Beeching.  As long as there are available seats and you meet all of the required prerequisites (if any) and you are willing to provide your own transportation to the Marine Science Consortium in Wallops Island, Virginia, where the courses will take place, you may register for the course. Again, talking to Dr. Beeching is essential.

Step 2b: If you want to take a course taught by faculty from another PASSHE Marine Science Consortium affiliate, you must register and pay for that course through that school following that school's registration process as outlined at the website for the Marine Science Consortium. If you wish, you may also complete a Visiting Student Form (available here) which may then be submitted to the host University after it has been approved by SRU.

Step 3: If you are taking the Marine Science (SRU) course, you will have to pay your tuition bill for the course credits to Slippery Rock University Student Accounts by the posted deadline.  Failure to pay the tuition by the deadline could jeopardize your seat in the course.

Step 4: Complete the room and board reservation form as required by the MSC and email, fax, or post it to the MSC. Your reservation MUST contain a $100.00 deposit toward the cost of housing, meals, and equipment/laboratory fees. For deadline information please visit the MSC Housing website. 

Step 5:  Make sure you pay the remainder of the MSC's housing/meals/equipment fees in advance of your course by the deadline established by the MSC. Failure to pay your balance to the MSC will result in cancelation of your registration.

Step 6: After completing a MSC course taught by another PASSHE university, please make sure an offical transcript including your final grade is sent to SRU's Office of Academic Records and Summer School.
