ARCHE Cross Registration Questions and Answers

Cross Registration Question and Answers

Higher education opens students to a wide range of new knowledge, new people and new experiences. When you attend an ARCHE member college or university you have the unique opportunity to broaden your educational experience by registering for courses at any other member institution through the Cross Registration Program.

Whom should I contact on my campus to get information about cross registration?
The cross registration coordinator is the campus administrator responsible for assisting students in understanding and completing the cross registration process, ensuring the completion and transmittal of application forms, and helping students meet their responsibilities under the program.

How do I cross register?
You must complete a cross registration application, following the instructions on the back of the form. The application must be signed by your academic advisor and by the cross registration coordinators at the home and host institutions. If the host institution course instructor’s or department’s approval is needed, you may be directed to obtain such approval. Once all approvals have been obtained, the host institution’s cross registration coordinator will register you for the approved course on a space-available basis after the host institution’s regularly enrolled or continuing students have had first priority for registration.

Where can I obtain a Cross Registration Application?
Cross Registration Applications are available from your institutions cross registration coordinator or registrar. The application also may be printed from this Web site and requires Adobe Acrobat for access.

What are the deadlines?
Check with your cross registration coordinator for the deadline at your home institution.  Cross registration coordinators must forward applications to potential host institutions by these deadlines.

• Fall: July 26

• Spring: December 1

• Summer (if applicable): May 1 

Most cross registration coordinators have earlier deadlines for students to submit applications at their home institutions.

What is my student status at the host institution?
If you register for a course through cross registration, you are considered a visiting student (which does not constitute regular admission to the host institution).

How are grades for cross registration courses handled?
As a cross registration student, you are graded according to the academic standards and grading practices of the host institution. Upon completion of the course, the cross registration coordinator of the host institution shall ensure that your transcript is sent to the cross registration coordinator of your home institution for inclusion on your official transcript. Seniors who are graduating at the end of the semester in which they are cross registered shall be responsible for contacting the host institution coordinator to obtain an alternate grade report to provide to the home institution.

If I registered for an ARCHE course but did not attend, how do I petition?
As an ARCHE participant, you are responsible in contacting the ARCHE coordinator of your intentions to cancel, drop/add, or switch courses.  A petition is required if your registration status is not updated with your home and host institutions’ coordinator(s).  ARCHE participants will contact his/her home institution’s cross registration coordinator for details concerning the petition process and procedure.
