Outgoing ARCHE Policy and Procedures

• GPA required to participate is a 2.00 or above
• Must be enrolled at home institution
• Comply with the host institution’s immunization policy
• Obtain approval in the Office of Academic Assistance
• Meet application deadlines

All University System of Georgia Schools and some private schools require proof of immunization for measles, mumps, rubella and tetanus.  If the immunization record is on file at Georgia State University, the cross registration coordinator will print and attach the record to the cross registration application.  ARCHE students with incomplete health records would be notified and the student is responsible to providing any incomplete documents.

As a visiting ARCHE cross registration student you are required to obtain a campus identification number.  Refer to your acceptance letter for further details.

The host institution may require new cross registration students to obtain an ID card.    Refer to your acceptance letter for more details.

ARCHE participants are registered during late registration at the host institution.  Cross registration occurs only after the host institution’s regular enrolled or continuing students have had first priority for registration. Once the ARCHE registration time period closes, there will be no registration of ARCHE participates. The application is then canceled and the student’s registration status is not registered.

Application Deadline

ARCHE Cross Registration Applications will not be accepted after the deadline has passed.  If a course is canceled at a student's home institution and the ARCHE deadline has passed, the student should contact his/her academic advisor for other options to completing his/her academic studies at the home institution.

Confirmation Letter

 ARCHE cross registration participants will receive an emailed confirmation letter stating his/her status in the program.    

Cross registrants are subject to the same prerequisites as host students.  Please verify with your home institution’s academic advisor to ensure all prerequisites are met.  If additional proof of prerequisites is needed by the host institution, an academic transcript is requested and forwarded by Georgia State University’s cross registration coordinator.

Certain classes are restricted from the ARCHE cross registration program. ARCHE participants are notified of all restrictions at the beginning of registration at the host institution.  You may check any restrictions listed under the ARCHE Cross Registration Program Restrictions Section.

Certain classes will fill before the beginning of registration for ARCHE participants.  A confirmation from the host ARCHE coordinator is emailed and the application status is canceled.  Please note: Making an arrangement with the instructor does not guarantee registration into the course. Participants should contact the home institution’s coordinator for possible openings of closed courses at the host institution.  ARCHE participants are not considered registered until the host institution’s system reflects registration. 

ARCHE cross registration participants are not allowed to overflow into closed courses.      Please note: Making arrangements with the host institution’s instructor for an overflow does not satisfy registration at the host institution. ARCHE participants are not considered registered until the host and home institution’s system states registration.

Auditing is not permitted in the ARCHE cross registration program.  All courses taken are assigned a letter grade based on the host institution’s grading system.

During the ARCHE registration period, students are required to email the host and home institutions’ cross registration coordinator(s) to drop/cancel registration.  Verbal requests are not accepted.

During ARCHE registration, students are registered into courses listed on the ARCHE cross registration application.  Participants must contact the cross registration coordinator regarding registration of courses not submitted on the original application. 

ARCHE participants that decide to withdraw a course are required to contact the host and home institutions’ ARCHE cross registration coordinator by email on or before the end of the withdrawal period.   Verbal requests are not accepted. 

Outgoing ARCHE cross registration students should pay the tuition and fees of the home institution, Georgia State University.  Some intitutions may charge special fees (lab fees, etc.).  The host insitituion will notify participants of additional fees upon accceptance. 

The signed cross registration application gives most host institution permission to forward a final academic transcript at the end of the semester.   Refer to the host institution confirmation letter for further details for end of term transcript submission.
