It will offer faculty members new opportunities to offer courses in their specialties for which there are too few students at their own institutions, and to coordinate offerings with colleagues at other universities. And it will provide much needed assistance to CIC universities as they endeavor to sustain the widest range of faculty expertise consistent with the maintenance of the highest quality. The offering institution will give students from other CIC institutions first priority to fill available spaces in a Common Market course or institute. Students must be degree candidates at their home institutions. Their enrollment in a Common Market course or institute must be approved by the appropriate academic and administrative authorities at both the home and host institutions.
Students enroll at their home institutions where they pay regular tuition.
Home institutions may add a surcharge to meet any difference between tuition and the program fee. Students also register at the host institution exactly as if they were CIC Traveling Scholars. The only difference is that their registration will generate a bill to their home institutions. The CIC Common Market of Courses and Institutes is to be inaugurated in 1998-99. For further information, contact the CIC offices or the CMCI Coordinator on your campus.
