When students enroll at one Concordia campus, are also enrolled in the Concordia University System through a process called simultaneous enrollment. This provides qualified students with the opportunity to participate in the visiting student program, which allows up to two semesters of study on another Concordia campus. In addition, students in the Concordia University System may use all of the computer, communication, and video technologies which allow students on one campus to participate in selected courses on other Concordia campuses.
