Accepted Answer

Existing outside or beyond the walls or boundaries of an organized unit such as a school or hospital. Extramural contains the Latin extra-, meaning “outside” or “beyond” (see EXTRA). The walls in extramural are usually those of schools, colleges, and universities, and the word is often seen in phrases like “extramural activities” and “extramural competition,” referring to things that involve the world beyond the campus. Some institutions use the term “extramural study” for what others call “distance learning”—that is, teaching and learning by means of Web connections to the classroom and to videos of lectures. Money that flows into universities to support research (from foundations, government institutes, etc.) is usually called “extramural income.”
