1. Home Students

   • Undergraduate:  Begin at the Center for Advisement Services Center/Undergraduate Studies (ASC/US)-LI 36, Associate Director John P. Downey or Suzanne Phillips.

   •  Graduate Students:  Begin at the Office of Graduate Studies, AD152, Assistant Dean Jonathan Bartow.

   • For undergraduates, signatures required are those of the student’s advisor and Mr. Downey or Ms. Phillips. For graduate students, signatures required are those of the student’s advisor and Mr. Bartow.

   • Cross-registration enrollments by University students are governed by policies that parallel transfer credit approvals.  Students should note that course credits will be determined by following equivalencies used in evaluating transfer credentials.  Grades earned in undergraduate cross-registered courses are not recorded on the University transcript.  The grade column of the transcript reports only an “S” or “U”.  Since no grades (except “S” or “U”) are recorded for cross-registration courses, they do not enter into the calculation of either the term or cumulative averages printed on the University’s transcript.  On the graduate level grades are recorded as received from the host institution.

2.  Visiting Students

   • Undergraduate or Graduate:  Present a completed Cross-Registration form with required signatures from the home institution to the Office of the Registrar, Campus Center B-25.  Forms faxed by your home institution’s Cross Registration officer will also be accepted.

   • Registrations must be completed by no later than the “Final Registration Day” as published in the University Calendar for that semester.

   • Course descriptions and a schedule of classes are available from the home campus cross-registration representative and/or the University web pages at http://www.albany.edu.  Course availability (open seats) may be checked on the web by using “Schedule of Classes” Search.

   • Classes designated as requiring “permission” are noted as comments in the Schedule of Classes search results screen and will need a Permission Number from the instructor before being registered for the course.

   • Transcripts are sent to the Registrar (or designated official) at the home institution by the Registrar’s Office.

   • Laboratory courses, methods and teacher education courses, upper division School of Business courses, as well as others are closed to cross-registration students.  The following courses are not available for graduate student cross-registration: all clinical and field instruction courses, supervised teaching, and studio art (except participants in the Cooperative Art Education Masters Degree Program).

3. General
