What is the difference in the Baltimore Student Exchange Program (BSEP), Inter-Institutional Registration Program (IIR) and the Permission to Enroll at Another Institution Program (PTE)?

The BSEP and IIR program applies your course work as “resident credit” the course will count in your GPA. The PTE program allows you take courses at other community colleges and 4-year institutions inside and outside of Maryland that are not part of the USM system. Under the PTE program, your course work will be considered as “transfer” credit and will not count in your GPA.
