SUNY Cross Registration

Quote Icon Our Cross-registration policy promotes timely degree completion by providing students access to courses not available at NCC but offered at other SUNY campuses while enrolled at NCC.

For more information, please contact the Registrar's Office at registrar@ncc.edu

Cross-registration occurs when one SUNY institution provides instruction for a student enrolled in a degree or certificate program at another SUNY institution during the same academic term. Cross-registered instruction may be delivered in any instructional format (i.e. in person or online). The primary goal of the policy is to promote timely degree completion by providing students access to courses unavailable at their home campus by enrolling at other SUNY campuses

How do I know if I am eligible to cross-register at another SUNY campus?

Students must be degree-seeking (matriculated) in a degree or certificate program and have a good academic standing. NCC defines good academic standing as a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or above.

Can I use financial aid to pay for cross-registered courses?

Financial aid is available for eligible students. Students must start the process for cross-registration at least 8 weeks ahead of the planned semester to attend a host school. The cross-registration application will ask if you plan to use aid to pay the host school. Upon review of eligible degree courses as approved by Advisement, the Financial Aid Office will review eligibility to use financial aid.

Can I take any course at another SUNY Campus?

Courses must be applicable to your degree at NCC.

Can I use Cross Registration to Study Abroad?

All SUNY campuses have a separate procedure to apply for Study Abroad. For further information at NCC process email studyabroad@ncc.edu

How do I apply to cross-register at another SUNY campus?

Submit the SUNY Cross-Registration Request web application found at Suny Cross Register. The request is subject to approval from multiple offices on both NCC and the other SUNY campus. Plan to apply at least 8 weeks in advance.

Are there other forms I need to submit?

What is the difference between Home and Host Campus?

Home Campus is where a student is matriculated in a degree or certificate program.
Host Campus is any other campus(es) where a student is registering for classes.

Are there any restrictions for NCC to approve?

NCC reserves the right to deny cross registration requests in cases where the course is available, but the student wishes to take the course at a different time due to non-academic conflicts. Nassau may limit cross registration based on: degree residency requirements as outlined in the college catalog. Students must meet both Home and Host campus deadlines for approvals, changes and registration.

I am a degree-seeking Veteran at NCC. Do I have to do anything else?

Students must indicate their plan to use Veteran Education Benefits in the Cross-Registration Request Application. After, you register online for the course approved, please stop by the Registrar's Office, Student Services Center to speak with a School Certifying Official as additional paperwork may be required in order to receive your benefits.

How are Cross-registered courses noted on my academic transcript?

NCC students will see cross registered courses as transferred credit, therefore, any grade earned at another college is not calculated in your major or overall GPA.

HOST STUDENTS:

Nassau grants priority registration to new, transfer and continuing matriculated students, therefore your request to cross-register at NCC is subject to the availability of space.
NCC is not responsible for or required to verify that the course you are attempting to register for is equivalent to a course that is part of your degree requirements at your home campus. This is the responsibility of your home campus and you, the student.
Students are responsible for meeting the prerequisites for cross-registered courses and should discuss prerequisites with their home campus advisor before putting in the application request.
Upon completion of the term, a transcript will be sent to your home campus' Registrar's Office on your behalf. If you wish to have your transcript sent to any other location, it can be requested via your MyNCC portal. Transcripts cannot be sent for students with holds/restrictions on their account.
