SUNY Cross Registration

The SUNY Cross Registration Agreement affords the opportunity to those students in jeopardy of increasing their length of graduation due to lack of available courses at their Home Campus.  This agreement allows undergraduate matriculated students to cross-register with another participating SUNY Campus to complete degree-applicable courses with no additional tuition charges from the participating Host Campus.  Students are responsible to pay their tuition charges to their Home Campus only. 

Registration through this agreement is recorded on the student’s academic record.  The Host Campus uploads a final transcript, including all final grades, to the SUNY Cross Registration request at the completion of the semester.  The student, by means of submitting a SUNY Cross Registration request, agrees to give SUNY Orange and the participating SUNY Campus permission to exchange personal and academic information for the purpose of completing such request.
