Policies and Eligibility for 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Students

The cross-registration program is made possible through the New York Six Consortium. Cross-registration courses are taught through an online, virtual classroom. 

  • 51³Ô¹ÏÍø students who have completed at least one semester on campus are eligible to register for cross-registration courses.
  • To be eligible to cross-register, a student must be enrolled full-time at 51³Ô¹ÏÍø (i.e., registered for a minimum of 3.00 course credits), unless the student qualifies for per-course billing or receives permission from the associate dean of the faculty to cross-register for two courses.
  • Courses taken as part of this cross-registration program will count as institutional credit, as if it were a traditional 51³Ô¹ÏÍø course. Grades earned will be recorded on the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø transcript and calculated into the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø grade point average. Major credit is determined on a case-by-case basis by the department. (Note: Hindi, taken through Syracuse University, is an exception to this policy and is treated as regular transfer credit and does not calculate toward the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø GPA.)
  • Students may only cross-register for one New York Six course per term.
  • A maximum of three New York Six credits will count toward the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø degree.
  • Students on academic warning must obtain permission to cross-register from both their administrative dean and the associate dean of the faculty.
  • Students cross-registering for New York Six courses are responsible for knowing the relevant policies and deadlines for both 51³Ô¹ÏÍø and the host campus.
  • Students who are billed for full-time attendance at 51³Ô¹ÏÍø will not be charged additional tuition for cross-registered courses. Students granted per course billing status will be billed per course up to the cost of full time tuition for home school and cross-registered courses. Host institutions may charge miscellaneous fees.
  • Following the completion of the cross-registered course, a transcript will be sent from the host institution to the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Registrar’s Office. The course credit and grade will be added to the student’s 51³Ô¹ÏÍø record upon receipt of the transcript.
  • Seniors should check with the registrar's office before taking a cross-registered course in their final semester, as it may affect graduation.
  • 51³Ô¹ÏÍø students attending a full-semester study abroad program through one of the other five colleges will be placed on approved program status, and course work completed during the term away will be treated as transfer credit, per existing policy.
  • Because 51³Ô¹ÏÍø does not offer summer courses, cross-registration is not permitted over the summer. Students taking summer courses at a New York Six member school must apply directly for visiting student status at that institution. Summer courses will count as transfer credit and must comply with all 51³Ô¹ÏÍø policies and requirements pertaining to summer transfer credit.
