Cross Registration

Genesee Community College participates in the SUNY Cross Registration agreement as well as with the Rochester Area and Western New York Consortium Agreement which allows students to take courses at institutions other than their home institution to aid in degree completion.

SUNY Cross Registration

STUDENTS who wish to cross register at a SUNY School can do so by completing the online SUNY Cross Registration Application.

The following guidelines apply to a GCC student interested in a SUNY Cross Registration at a participating institution:

1. Student must be matriculated at GCC and the course they are requesting must be applicable to their current degree program.
2. Students may only cross register at participating institutions for degree applicable courses when an equivalent or degree suitable course is not available at GCC, the enrollment capacity has been reached in all GCC offerings, or the student has a time conflict between two required courses that must be completed this semester.
3. Students will not be approved for cross registration if there is a hold on their record that prevents registration at GCC or if they are not in good academic standing.
4. Students must have the approval of both GCC and host institution.
5. Students are responsible for notifying the appropriate offices on both campuses if they drop or withdraw from a course.  Failure to do so can result in a failing grade.
6. All course related fees in excess of tuition are the responsibility of the student.
7. Students are subject to the cross registration policies of the SUNY school in which they wish to cross register. Students are responsible for contacting the host institution for registration related policies as well as dates and deadlines.

Each participating institution may have its own policy regarding admittance of a cross registered student. It is advisable to check the policy of the institution of interest.

All incoming cross registration forms are subject to GCC Registrar final approval.
