SUNY Cross Registration

The State University of New York cross-registration policy was developed to promote timely degree completion by providing access to courses at other SUNY campuses. Registration, once approved between the Host and Home Campus, is recorded on the student’s academic record with a final transcript uploaded to the Home Campus by the Host. By registering for Cross Registration, the student agrees to give NCCC and the participating SUNY Campus permission to exchange personal and academic information for the purpose of completing the request.

A key feature of the cross-registration policy is the SUNY Financial Aid Consortium Agreement. The Financial Aid Consortium Agreement establishes a university-wide financial aid arrangement that enables any SUNY student who is eligible for aid, matriculated in an eligible program, and enrolled at a SUNY campus, to register for academic credit at another SUNY campus. Program-applicable credits may be combined into a full-time load for financial aid purposes using the SUNY Financial Aid Consortium Agreement.

The agreement allows undergraduate full-time matriculated students to cross-register with another participating SUNY campus to complete degree-applicable courses with no additional tuition charges from the Host Campus*. Students are responsible for the Home Tuition and Fee charges and are only subject to any individual course free from the Home Campus if applicable.

Home Campus – the institution where the student is matriculated

Host Campus – the institution where the student will take on additional courses
