Cross Registration

The Graduate School participates in the three interinstitutional agreements:

  • Interinstitutional Registration
  • the Greater Greensboro Consortium
  • UNC Online

Students taking courses through a cross-registration agreement must meet the standards for participation in the program as set by their home institution, including the transfer credit policies of the Graduate School, and must follow the rules and policies of both campuses. Students must be registered for at least half of their hours at UNC Greensboro the same semester in which they register through either the Interinstitutional or the Consortium agreement. Under Interinstitutional Registration and the Greater Greensboro Consortium, enrollment and payment of tuition and fees take place on the home campus. For UNC Online, students must pay the appropriate tuition and fees to the visited institution.

Courses taken through cross-registration are considered transfer credit and although the course title will appear on the student’s UNC Greensboro transcript, grades are not recorded or calculated into the student’s overall GPA.

Regardless of modality, no cross-registered course may be taken pass/fail (satisfactory/unsatisfactory, etc.), and all courses must earn a specific grade to be eligible for transfer. Please refer to the Graduate Grading section of this Handbook for the policy concerning interinstitutional grading.

Application forms and information are available at the Graduate School and the University Registrar’s Office. The student must fill complete the application form and obtain their Graduate Program Director’s signature certifying the following requirements:

  • an equivalent course is not available on this campus,
  • the course is appropriate for the student’s degree program, and
  • it is a graduate-level course according to the current numbering schemes in the visited institution’s catalog.
