SUNY Cross Registration and its supporting policies were established to promote timely degree completion by providing students access to courses at other SUNY campuses while they are enrolled at their home campus. By providing access to required courses at other SUNY campuses, cross registration allows students to complete requirements in situations where a course or courses are unavailable at their Home Campus. In addition, SUNY campuses may also choose to collaborate via cross registration agreements in order to strengthen an academic program by including a course or courses not taught by the home campus, or to utilize existing faculty, facilities, and resources more efficiently.
SUNY Cross Registration is supported by the SUNY Financial Aid Consortium Agreement, which includes all SUNY campuses accredited and eligible to participate in federal Title IV and New York State financial aid programs. The Consortium enables any student who is eligible for aid, matriculated in an eligible program, and enrolled at any SUNY campus within the Consortium, to register for academic credit with any other SUNY campus(es) within the Consortium and combine the program-applicable credits into a full-time load for financial aid purposes.
The SUNY Cross Registration Student Portal was designed to facilitate student registration while simultaneously providing for cross-campus data-sharing, timely approvals, and needed reporting and data collection. The portal is the only official means to register for cross registration and utilize the SUNY Financial Aid Consortium Agreement. Any student planning to register for courses at another SUNY host campus during the fall or spring semesters should be directed to use the SUNY Cross Registration Student Portal.
