good academic standing.
2. Students may take a maximum of 24 credits via the Visiting Student Policy.
3. The student who presents evidence of good standing at the home university will be allowed to register for courses
at other PASSHE universities. The visiting student priority level for registration will be determined by each
university.
4. All credits and grades accrued at other PASSHE universities shall be accepted in full by the home university and
