Cross-Registration by Group

Outgoing matriculated full-time undergraduate students may enroll in up to two courses during the fall and two during the spring semester at a Hartford Consortium member institution. No more than four courses per academic year. No tuition fee or registration fee is paid by the student to the Hartford Consortium host institution. All other fees are the student’s responsibility (i.e., transportation, books and special film/lab/music/technology fees, etc.). Check with the host institutions Registrar’s Office to confirm course eligibility and fees. 

Incoming matriculated full-time undergraduate students from participating member institutions may enroll in up to four courses, two in the fall semester and two in the spring semester. Enrollment is subject to “only” space availability. All fees other than the tuition and registration fees are the student’s responsibilities (i.e., transportation, books, and special lab/film/music/technology fees, etc.).

Full-time matriculated graduate students may enroll in two courses per academic year at any of the Consortium member institutions (one course in the fall semester and one course in the spring semester). Graduate students must pay full tuition and all special fees to the Consortium host institution. Tuition remission is valid only for graduate full-time employees of Consortium member institutions. Consortium Cross-Registration paperwork is only for grading and reporting purposes.

Full-time employees of Consortium member institutions may enroll in up to two (undergraduate or master level) courses per calendar year (one per semester; fall, spring, summer, or winter). Employees must submit a Hartford Consortium for Higher Education Employee Remission form signed by their immediate supervisor and HRD.

All fees other than the tuition are the employee’s responsibilities (i.e., registration fee, lab/film/music/technology fees, books, transportation, etc.). Degree programs determine tuition abatement amount. For example, students matriculated in the MBA program will only have a portion of the tuition waived. Employees should check with the host institutions Registrar’s Office to confirm incoming Consortium member employee policies and fees.

 Cross-Registration for fall 2023 classes begins on Monday, May 1.

The Hartford Consortium for Higher Education Office will post the current course listings for its participating members. Each Consortium institution has its own guidelines that determine which courses are available.

Academic calendars differ at various Consortium institutions. It is the student’s responsibility to become familiar with the Consortium host institutions vacation periods, the last day to withdraw from a course without penalty and other pertinent calendar dates.

Student Responsibilities

Check with Consortium home and host institutions Registrar’s Office to confirm course eligibility. Each Consortium member has special requirements and or restrictions that determine course eligibility.

Confirm that a course will be accepted for credit at the Consortium home institution.

Obtain a Cross-Registration form on the Hartford Consortium for Higher Education's website at www.hartfordconsortium.org

Complete a Cross-Registration form; separate form for each course is required.

Obtain signature of the Registration Officer of the Consortium home institutions.

Submit completed Cross-Registration form to the Consortium host institution where enrollment is being sought. Registration procedures and deadlines of the Consortium host institution must be followed.

Any changes to the registration form (additions, substitutions, withdrawal) must be reported to both the home and host Consortium institutions. Contact information for participating Consortium members is available on the Hartford Consortium for Higher Education's website at www.hartfordconsortium.org

Special permission from the home institution is required for courses taken as pass / no pass.

Send a copy of the completed Cross-Registration form to the Registrar’s Office of the Consortium home institution.

Occasionally special permission is required from the Consortium host institution instructor. In these particular circumstances, students should obtain the instructor’s contact information from the Consortium host institution Registration Officer to request special override permission form the instructor.

Cross-Registration begins on December 1 for spring and May 1 for the fall semester. All registrations occur electronically on normal business days and hours. In order to maintain registration equality among all University of Hartford students, the following dates are strictly enforced, hence Cross-Registration request will not be processed prior to the posted dates.

It is not recommended that seniors anticipating a spring graduation cross-register during the spring semester due to a possible delay in transferring grades between Consortium institutions.

Full credit is given for passing grades. All grades and credits are “in residence” consequently, a student’s G.P.A. is affected at the home institution.
