BACHE Course Exchange

The Birmingham Area Consortium for Higher Education (BACHE) provides a Cooperative Course Exchange Program. This program allows a student at the University of Montevallo to petition to enroll in up to one course a semester at a participating institution - Miles College, Samford University, or the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Any student interested in participating should contact the Registrar’s Office. More information is available on the BACHE website. General guidelines follow. Note that Home institution refers to the institution the student normally attends, and Host institution refers to the institution offering the BACHE course.  

• In order to participate in the Cooperative Course Exchange Program, individuals must be full time, regularly admitted, degree-seeking undergraduate students at a member institution. 

• Only undergraduate courses can be taken through the Cooperative Course Exchange agreement. 

• Unless circumstances of a specific and justifiable nature warrant otherwise, students are limited to taking one course per academic term through the cooperative arrangement.  Any exceptions to this principle will require the approval of the chief academic officer of the Home institution or the chief academic officer’s designated representative. 

• Enrollment in classes at a Host institution is provided on a space-available basis. 

• Enrollment in a specific class gives a student access only to those facilities at the Host institution needed to complete the requirements of that class. 

• There will be no additional cost to students participating in the Cooperative Course Exchange Program except for associated laboratory or other special fees. 

• Students will observe all regulations in effect at the Host institution during the term in which they are enrolled including, but not limited to, adherence to honor codes, attendance policies, calendar deadlines, and procedures for withdrawing from classes.
