Rich, We are in the process of adopting DegreeWorks. Deciding how to track the non-course requirements has absorbed a non-negligible amount of time.

We do something similar to what’s described for Alabama (without the box). It does take some time, but we don’t have so many students in any particular commencement that it has become unwieldy.

We saw this issue with Flagstar Bank (what Wells Fargo morphed into in our area). They wouldn’t budge on it. We did go to some local banks and ask if they would offer banking services to Iranian students, and they did.

Michigan Tech: This used to be handled strictly through funding in the graduate school, but we convinced our folks in finance and budgeting that it ought to be handled through he fringes pool. The funds are drawn from that pool so that externally and internally supported students are covered in the same way.

Michigan Tech: We do have a parental leave policy. Details here: https://www.mtu.edu/gradschool/policies-procedures/academic/parental-leave/

We allow undergrads to take grad level classes by permission of the instructor. The classes can be counted toward the undergrad degree (as electives, for example). Undergrads can use what we call, senior rule, to take graduate level classes that can be counted toward the graduate degree. The catch is that those credits cannot be counted toward the undergrad degree. In other words, they can take the class and pay the undergrad tuition for it, but perhaps count it toward a graduate credential, either at Tech, or by transferring it to another university. Senior rule is typically capped at 6 credits.
