What is cross-registration? Who is eligible?

Cross registration is where one SUNY Cortland provides instruction for a student who is currently enrolled full-time in a degree or certificate program at another SUNY institution. The State University of New York established SUNY-wide cross registration in order to provide undergraduate students with a wider array of course options.

The cross-registration policy is generally intended to address one or more of the following to:

1. strengthen an academic program by including a course or courses not taught by the home institution;
2. resolve a course scheduling conflict that delays timely program completion; or
3. to utilize existing faculty, facilities, and resources more efficiently.

Eligibility:

• Any full time (12+ hours) undergraduate student in good standing at any 4-year SUNY school or community college is eligible.
• The course must be pursued during fall or spring terms. Winter and summer are excluded from the policy.
• Course restrictions, including pre-requisites will still apply to visiting students.
• Visiting students may register during visiting student registration periods only.
