Obtain the signature of the instructor ONLY IF it is required of all students. Most faculty welcome interchange students, although they have final authority for their own course enrollments. Obtain appropriate home-campus approval. Your academic advisor must sign the interchange form. If another signature is required, your home registrar will advise you.
All students observe the registration deadline of their home campus.
More information about deadlines and other guidelines for interchange appears in the Five College Academic Calendar. Copies are available in all registration offices. Guidelines As a general rule, any of the 6,000 undergraduate courses may be taken through interchange, so long as the course falls within the field of the liberal arts and is judged to be beneficial to the student's overall educational program. The only two restrictions are that students normally do not begin taking courses through interchange until after the first semester of freshman year, and that, at the colleges, students may not take more than two courses off their home campus in any semester. Procedures Procedures for cross registration are handled through the registration office of the student's home campus.
