Inter-Institutional Registration

Courses taught during the academic year at area colleges (e.g., RIT, St. John Fisher College, Colgate-Rochester Divinity, Monroe Community College, Nazareth College, or SUNY Brockport) are available to undergraduate students with no extra tuition charge if those courses are not offered at Rochester during that semester. If the course is offered at the University of Rochester, but is not available due to a time conflict or other circumstances, the student should submit a written request for an exception along with their Inter-Institutional Form. There is no guarantee that approval will be granted in cases where the course is offered at the home institution. Registration forms are available online at the registrar's website.

Approval is required by the College Center for Advising Services or the student’s department advisor (for a major or minor course) in addition to the Home and Visiting School Registrars.

Full-time students can take two courses each semester at an area college; the program is not available to part-time students. If you have special circumstances, please see an advisor in the College Center for Advising Services (CCAS).

Acceptable Courses

Courses, whether elective or required for the major, must be transferable and/or comparable to courses offered at the University of Rochester. Students taking courses at area colleges should apprise themselves of the differences in credit systems and plan accordingly.

Students should talk to a CCAS advisor for more information about what courses are considered transferable and/comparable, and for credit information.

Grades and Transcripts

Students should be aware that grades received in area college courses will not be included in the grade point average or on the University of Rochester transcript. Transfer credit is awarded if C or higher grades are earned.

ROTC

Courses taken for Army ROTC or Air Force ROTC may be credited toward the fulfillment of the requirements of the BA or BS degree for up to five academic courses (20 credit hours). Please note that not all courses transfer. See a CCAS advisor for more information or with questions.

For information regarding credits from courses taken before 2013 or any questions, please contact Mayra Vite-Romero (mayra.vite-romero@rochester.edu).
