Cross Registration Guidelines for
Three Rivers University Institutions
As Adapted from the Pittsburgh Council on Higher Education (PCHE)

1. The purpose of cross college and university registration is to provide opportunities for enriched educational programs by permitting students at any of the PCHE institutions to take courses at any other PCHE institution.

2. The opportunity to cross register is open to each full-time graduate and undergraduate student enrolled in a PCHE college or university. Part-time students normally are not permitted to cross register. If valid circumstances exist, the appropriate home school academic administrator may grant a waiver of the Cross Registration Guidelines.

3. Each college or university accepts registration from the other institutions; however, first priority is given to students of the host college, and not all departments or schools in all institutions are able to participate in this program.

4. In each case of a student cross registration, the approval of the dean or a designated individual from the home college or university must be obtained prior to registration.

5. The student's advisor or dean is responsible for assuring his/her eligibility for the course in which s/he intends to enroll.

6. Full credit and grade will be transferred; the academic regulations of the host institution will prevail.

7. The academic honesty code and other rules of conduct of the institution providing instruction apply with respect to its courses and behavior on its campus. That institution also determines whether its rules have or have not been violated. The student's own institution will impose such penalties as it considers proper when violations are reported to it.

8. Cross registrants do not thereby acquire the status of students in the institutions in which they are receiving instruction (e.g., for purposes of participation in student activities, insurance programs, etc.). They do receive library privileges at the host institution and may purchase course texts at the host bookstore.

9. Each qualified student may enroll in no more than one course off campus in any one term or semester under this program. Students wishing to cross register for more than one course in a term must have approval from the appropriate academic offices at both schools.

10. No additional tuition charge is made to students who are participating in this program; however the student who cross registers is responsible for paying any course or laboratory fees to the host.

11. This cross registration program does not apply to summer sessions at any of the institutions, including the spring term at the University of Pittsburgh. However, taking courses at other institutions during those terms is facilitated by "temporary transfer student" procedures separately agreed to by the PCHE colleges and universities.

12. Adding or dropping a course after the home institution's deadline date requires permission from the home institution; adding or dropping a course after the host institution's deadline date requires permission from the host institution.

13. Students enrolled in approved joint co-op programs between two PCHE institutions are exempt from the requirement of being full-time at either school in order to cross register. Students are bound by requirements of that program.
