3. Check for Pre-Requisites & Prepare transcripts: If your course of interest requires a pre-requisite, download your unofficial transcript copy from your student information system to have it handy for uploading into the registration system. 

4. Click Request Registration: As long as the course has available seats, you can submit a course request form. Keep the catalog page open to reference course details. Follow the instructions on the form to enter your request. Please be sure to add a lab section for any lectures requiring an associated lab.

5. Add Additional Course Requests for the Same Term: Each form can be used to request 2 courses at 2 different institutions for the same term. Note that a new form must be submitted for requests in a different term. The maximum number of cross-registration courses permitted per semester is 2. Listing alternative course options is permitted in the event that you do not get into your first choice.  

6. Upload Unofficial Transcript (if necessary): If any of the courses you’ve requested have pre-requisite requirements, upload a PDF or image file of your unofficial transcript showing satisfactory completion of the required pre-requisite. 

7. Review & Sign: When you’ve reached the end of the form, read the agreement on the signature page, and provide your signature for submission. 

8. Receive Course Request Confirmation Email: After submitting your form you will be sent an email confirmation detailing the request submitted. Your request has now been sent to your home registrar for eligibility approval, and the teaching institutions you’ve requested for pre-req and seat availability review and approval. You will hear from the teaching institution registrar within 2 business days (or up to 4-5 during the summer term) regarding your request. 
   • NOTE: this email may go to your junk or ‘other’ folder. Please check all folders.

9. Receive Registration Confirmation Email: If your request is successful and you are eligible and have met any pre-requisites, you will be registered into the course by the teaching institution. The teaching institution’s registrars office will email you a confirmation, along with important details about getting set up to start your course.
