Consortium: Inter-University Cross Registration

The Consortium is a cross registration treaty among Boston College, Brandeis University, Hebrew College, Tufts University and Boston University. The following guidelines apply.

The agreement covers all undergraduate courses and programs in the Arts and Sciences and all full-time undergraduate students enrolled in the respective Colleges of Arts and Sciences.

A Boston University student who wishes to register in one of the participating colleges must pick up a "Cross Registration Packet" from the Office of the University Registrar at 881 Commonwealth Avenue. Follow the instructions included in the packet.

Boston University students may only cross register for one course each semester and for only seven courses while enrolled as an undergraduate.

Summer sessions are excluded from the Consortium.

There will be no exchange of fees.

Enrollment in any course by a guest student is subject to the pre-requisites and requirements for the course. Guest students are subject to all the requirements for the host course, including attendance, according to the calendar and schedule of the host school.

For the purposes of the agreement, full semester courses at all participating colleges carry equal credit. Boston University students must register for a traditional grade. No pass/fail or similar grade options will be recognized.

Guest students will be issued a temporary identification card validated for the semester of their enrollment in the host college.

Guest students will only be allowed to register in courses after the host students are registered.

A non-Boston University student from one of the Consortium members should have a "Cross Registration Packet" from his/her home school or may pick up one from the Office of the University Registrar at 881 Commonwealth Avenue. Follow the instructions included in the packet.

Boston University students will only be allowed to register in one other college in any one semester.

When courses have been completed, grades will be sent to the Registrar to be entered into the Boston University record and computed into the grade point average. The course will be considered a part of the CAS program for residency purposes.
