Cross-Registration

University Policy

Within the University

If space is available and if permitted by the school or college giving the course, students may cross-register and receive degree credit for courses outside their school or college of registration. In most cases, a student’s advisor must approve cross-registration selections. Courses offered by Metropolitan College may require special permission.

With Other Universities

Several schools and colleges within Boston University have formal, cooperative arrangements for cross-registration at nearby institutions. Information and permission may be obtained from the student’s school or college.

Metropolitan College Policy

Metropolitan College students who wish to cross-register in other schools and colleges of the University must pay the base rate of $1,276 per credit unless otherwise noted in the class schedule. Students may not take more than one non-Metropolitan College course in a semester. Students must register for a majority of their semester course load at Metropolitan College. However, under extraordinary circumstances students may petition for an exception to this rule through Metropolitan College Undergraduate Student Services or the student’s graduate department. Undergraduate students taking more than three courses (12.5 to 18 credits) will be assessed the University’s full-time tuition rate. Graduate students taking three or more courses (12 to 18 credits) will be assessed the University’s full-time tuition rate. Full-time degree candidates from other Boston University schools that have permission from their academic counselors to take Metropolitan College classes still pay full-time tuition.
