Cross-Registration in Other Boston University Schools

A student in a master’s degree program normally may not register for more than one graduate-level semester course given by a school or college at Boston University other than the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences or the College of Arts & Sciences, unless the courses are listed in the GRS Bulletin. A student in a PhD degree program may not register for more than two such courses. All courses must be approved by the student’s major advisor and department.

Cross-Registration in the Boston Area Graduate Consortia

Registration in the Boston Area Consortia is a formal agreement between Boston University and several local colleges and universities whereby BU students can attend courses at other institutions, and students from other institutions can attend courses at BU without payment of additional tuition. The other primary schools in the cross-registration consortia are Boston College, Brandeis University, Tufts University, and Hebrew College. Information and general guidelines about cross-registration through the Boston Area Graduate Consortia can be obtained from the Office of the University Registrar.

During a given academic year, a student is permitted to cross-register only once. Cross-registrants should expect to satisfy all prerequisites and requirements for courses as indicated by the host institution. Tuition for such courses is charged at Boston University rates in the usual manner.
