  Taking the Institute's Courses for Credit 
    As graduate students at any of the Institute's University Partners, you may 
    discuss the possibility of obtaining a credit for one or more courses in this 
    lecture series with your home university graduate officer and the course instructor. 
    Students wishing credit may need to arrange for additional individual instruction 
    to make up for the extra hours. Assigned reading and related projects may 
    be arranged for the benefit of students requiring these courses for credit.
