HOW TO CROSS REGISTER

Cross Registration Forms are available in all registrars’ offices or click here

• Advisor and student discuss cross registration plans.  A searchable database of
  all courses open for cross registration can be found at
  www.colleges-fenway.org/coursedirectory/

• Student completes the cross registration form and selects one or two alternative
  courses in the event that the first choice is filled.
  
  
• Advisor signs the form for all cross registration selections. Some colleges require additional signatures; the student should check with the home registrar for
  additional information. Students are responsible for ensuring that they meet
  all pre-requisite requirements.  See school specific procedures for Mass Art and
  Design, MCPHS and WIT below.
  
  
• The student brings the completed form to his/her home registrar, who
  must sign the form for approval if there are no restrictions or holds.  Some
  colleges also require approval from the business office and other campus
  officials.
  
  
• During the designated cross registration period, the student must bring
  the form in person to the host institution’s registrar and cross registration
  will be confirmed if there is space available in the class. 
  The student must then return a copy of the approved form to the home
  registrar in order to complete the process. 

• Cross registrations submitted after the designated cross-registration period
  will be processed according to the individual registration schedules of each
  member institution of the Colleges of the Fenway.  Students should check with
  the registrar’s office of the host institution to determine when their registration
  will be processed.

• Students who wish to drop a course must complete the paperwork with their
  host institution and, in some cases, the home institution as well.
  Students should check with home registrar’s office for specific procedures.

• School specific procedures: for Mass Art and Design, MCHS and WIT:

Mass Art and Design:

• Advisor’s signature is not needed
• The business office needs to sign after the registrar’s office signs and before
  the student goes to the host institution
• The student is encouraged to return the form, however, they are not required to
  do so. The student is informed that they will not be registered for a cross
  registered course in the Mass Art and Design office until the information is
  received from the host institution that the student is, in fact, enrolled.

MCPHS:

• If the cross registered course credit is being used toward an elective for
  graduation – a signature is required from the Chair of the department for that
  discipline.
• If the student has only 10 credits and the COF course would put them at 13
  (the flat rate amount), the student has to be cleared through Student Financial
  Services.
• When the student returns the form back from the host institution, the Registrar
  makes sure to note whether or not the course is being taken for Pass/Fail or
  a letter grade. Once the student has determined how it is being taken, they can
  not change the grading structure.

WIT:

• Advisor’s signature is not needed
• Student must be cleared through Student Financial Services
• If the cross registered course is being taken for graduation requirement credit –
  the student must obtain the Department Chair’s signature
