UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH
Ontario Visiting Graduate Student Plan
General Information:
The Visiting Graduate Student Plan allows a graduate student of an Ontario university (Home University) to take
graduate courses at another Ontario University (Host University) while remaining registered at his/her own university.
The plan allows the student to bypass the usual application for admission procedures and resultant transfer of credit
difficulties. The student pays fees to his/her Home University and is classed as a “visiting graduate student” at the Host
University where he/she pays no fees.
N.B. Students may not complete more than half of their prescribed course requirements outside of the University of
Guelph, either through the Letter of Permission (outside of Ontario), OVGS (within Ontario), or advanced credit transfer
procedures.
Responsibilities of the visiting Graduate Student:
1) To ensure that the Visiting Graduate Student application form is completed and submitted to the Department
Chair of his/her Home University prior to the beginning date of the course(s).
2) To ensure that a Notification of Withdrawal from Course(s) form is filed with the Graduate Dean of the Home
University and the Host University at the earliest possible date should he/she decide to drop a course at the
Host University.
Responsibilities of the Home University Department Chair and Graduate Dean:
By signing a Visiting Graduate Student application form, you certify that the student:
1) is pursuing a graduate degree as indicated on the form
2) is in good standing at your university requires the specified course(s)
3) will receive course credit for the course (providing suitable standing is obtained)
Responsibilities of the Host University Department Chair and Graduate Dean:

1) the course(s) specified will be offered during the term(s) indicated
2) the student will be assured a place in the course
3) the student will be identified as a “Visiting Graduate Student” and will not be reported for formula entitlement
(MCTU).
Host University Accounts Payable office or Comptroller:
