    If I am studying at multiple schools simultaneously (e.g. working toward 2 degrees at the same time), is there any moral or legal reasons for notifying either institution?

    Some schools will say, specifically, that you need to notify them if you are also enrolled in another school. Like our own TOS, many people will put a check mark in the box indicating "I agree" without actually reading all the rules that they are agreeing to live by.

    Anyone studying at two institutions simultaneously is a glutton for punishment. :banana::banana::banana::banana:

    I agree with Ted. Why would you want to do this to yourself? What's to be gained over finishing one degree as quickly as possible and them moving on to the other degree?

    Hi Pelican,

    I've been doing this very thing since April. In my case, I checked the policies at both institutions before doing so, and found no outright prohibition.

    Also, you should NOT apply for Federal financial aid at multiple institutions. That just doesn't work. Otherwise, go wild.
