In all cases, the registrar at every campus, in consultation with the instructor, has the final authority to decidequestions of admission to the course.In courses commonly overloaded, instructors should be encouraged to make room for as many SimultaneousEnrollment students as possible. In the interest of fairness, institutions may adopt a first-come, first-servedpolicy; others may try to reserve a few spaces for Simultaneous Enrollment Program students; and still othersmay subscribe to a ranking formula that gives preference to home majors and, in turn, to all seniors,Simultaneous Enrollment Program majors, juniors, and so forth.Should the number of registrations rise or fall dramatically, or should imbalances pose a burden to any oneinstitution, appropriate administrators will assess the situation and intervene with appropriate adjustments.Changes in course registration must have the approval of the home campus and follow procedures of the hostcampus.Grades are recorded on the home campus official transcript and are calculated in the home campus gradepoint average.There may be situations where there is not a common system of grading and credits. In such cases, the homecampus "translates" grades and credits from another campus into their own system.
