CROSS REGISTRATION POLICIES
AND REGULATIONS

MULTIPLE CROSS REGISTRATIONS
Students may cross register for one course in any or each school, in each semester, without question, within the rules of their home school.

Students may cross register for two courses in the same school each semester:

  1. if they have the approval of their Advisor that these courses will be of significant value and importance to their theological education or pastoral training;
  2. if they set out in writing to the Dean of the host school the value and importance of these courses;
  3. if the Dean of the home school indicates his/her approval of the request by affixing his/her own signature. (No permission need be received from the Dean of the host school.)

In no case may students cross register for more than two courses in the same semester in the same school without explicit written permission of the Dean of the host school. A student is to seek this permission in writing in a letter to the Dean of the host school, stating the reason for the request. This letter of request must also be signed by the Dean of the home school, indicting his/her approval. A written answer should be received from the Dean of the host school at least one week prior to the final date for late registration and schedule changes.

INCOMPLETE (I) GRADE
Since the policy governing the Incomplete (I) grade differs among the schools of the Consor tium, the Deans have agreed to the following policy:

The granting of the "I" grade will be governed in all aspects by the policy of the students' home school, not the host school, in which they are taking the course. When the host school does not grant the Incomplete, the students must inform the professor that they can be given the grade "I".

ONE REQUIRED COURSE IN ANOTHER TRADITION
Most of the theological school members of the Consortium have adopted an academic policy by which each student is required to elect at least one course "in another tradition" or a Consortium seminar during his or her academic career.

Since the determination of the conditions of fulfillment, i.e., who may be required, which courses, etc., is the responsibility solely of each school, students are asked to inquire of the Dean of their own school for information.

SUMMER SESSION & CROSS REGISTRATION

Summer session cross registration agreements are made on a bilateral case by case basis. The custom is that students who cross register in the summer need not apply for admission to the host school but must pay the summer school tuition of the host institution.
