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.

Cross-registration within the University follows the stipulations of the Transfer Credit Policy.

Cross Registration with Other Universities

School of Public Health students are eligible to cross-register for one course per semester during fall and spring semesters at Tufts University, Boston College, Brandeis University, and Hebrew College. Students from these schools are able to cross-register at Boston University for one course per fall or spring semester. All students who wish to cross-register for a course within the consortium must be registered for at least one course at their home school during the relevant semester. Cross-registration is a paper process and is not available via online registration. Students are charged on their home school bill and grades are transmitted to their university’s registrar’s office during the end of the semester grading period. Grades display on the home school transcript.
