Cross Registration

Cross Registration

Quick Summary

  • SUNY’s Cross Registration policy is primarily intended to resolve scheduling conflicts for required courses that would delay timely program completion. It is not intended to expedite/shorten degree completion. By providing access to required courses at other SUNY campuses, cross registration allows students to complete requirements in situations where a course or courses are unavailable at their home campus.
  • Cross registration is generally approved for fall and spring semesters; winter and summer requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
  • Cross registration is only available at SUNY colleges and universities (see "Exclusions," below, for more information).
  • You must be matriculated and in good standing at your home campus.
  • You do not need to be full time at your home campus.
  • SUNY Cross Registration Resources
  • Students may take classes at any one of the 61 participating campuses.
  • Coursework taken by cross registration will be recorded on the student's academic record as transfer credit. Students should be aware that all degree programs have a residency requirement (a minimum number of credits that must be taken at the home campus).
  • If a student first registers for a course as a visiting or non-matriculated student, they cannot retroactively request cross registration approval.
  • Cross registration requires approvals from multiple offices at both campuses. Students should submit their requests early.
  • The student is responsible to follow the academic calendars at both the Home and Host campuses.
  • Students are responsible to stay updated by reviewing your messages from the SUNY Cross Registration process.
  • Students are responsible for notifying the appropriate offices on BOTH campuses if they withdraw from a cross-registered course(s). If/when you drop, you must specify that you are a cross-registered student.

REGISTRATION

If your "HOME" Campus is SUNY Delhi and you wish to register at another campus:

  • You must be enrolled in degree applicable credits
  • You may request up to two (2) degree-applicable courses per semester (required for your current major).
      • Core major courses are generally not approved for cross registration unless the student can demonstrate a delay in time to completion of degree.
      • Any degree-applicable general education or liberal arts course(s) may be eligible for consideration for cross registration.
      • Other equivalent courses may be approved on a case-by-case basis if appropriate.
  • Courses for minors are not eligible for cross registration.
  • Review the Transfer Equivalencies to make sure the planned course(s) have an approved equivalent that is applicable to your degree, and discuss your plans with your academic advisor.  If your planned course(s) are not listed, contact your advisor or academic school office to have the course reviewed.
  • Fill out the SUNY Cross Registration Form.
  • If your requested course has any prerequisites, you must attach an unofficial transcript to your application to allow the host campus to confirm that you meet their course pre-requisites. To do this, pull up your transcript in Bronco Web and save it as a PDF.

  • Review your college's requirements for Cross Registration.
  • Get the appropriate approvals from your home campus's officials.
