Concordia University is a member of the Concordia University System - a consortium of the ten colleges and universities nationwide owned and operated by the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. When a student enrolls at one Concordia campus, he or she is also enrolled in the Concordia University System through a process called simultaneous enrollment. This provides the qualified student 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 participate in all of the computer, communication, and video technologies which allow students on one campus to participate in selected courses on other Concordia campuses.
