Cross Registration

SUNY’s cross-registration policy primarily intends to resolve scheduling conflicts for required courses that would delay timely program completion. Cross-registration allows students to complete requirements when a course or courses are unavailable at their Home Campus by providing a process to take required courses at other SUNY campuses.

The student is responsible for:

  1. Applying for and obtaining approval from the Home and Host Campuses before cross-registering
  2. Submitting a certificate of residency for billing purposes
  3. Meeting prerequisite requirements for registration
  4. Notifying the Home Campus of any enrollment changes at the Host Campus
  5. Paying special course fees and voluntary usage fees

For eligible students to receive the benefits of the cross-registration process, both the Home and Host Campuses must approve a student’s request to cross-register before cross-registration. The institutions should determine before starting the Home Campus’s academic term whenever possible.

If students do not obtain the required approvals for cross-registration from both the Home and Host Campuses before cross-registering, the Home Campus has the authority to approve or deny, on a case-by-case basis, the transfer of courses taken via cross-registration at other SUNY campuses, including General Education and Transfer Path courses in the major.
