Cross Registration

The purpose of cross registration through the Pittsburgh Council on Higher Education is to provide opportunities for enriched educational programs by permitting full-time paying undergraduate and graduate students to cross register for one course at any of the 10 PCHE institutions. These institutions are:

Point Park students in good standing who are paying full-time Point Park tuition are eligible to cross register. The PCHE course may count toward full-time status. There is no additional tuition charge, except for special course or laboratory fees. Point Park students do not acquire status at the host institution, but have library and bookstore privileges. Credit and grades are transferred directly to Point Park. Cross registration does not apply during the summer or during intercessions.

Policies for Point Park Students

• It does not matter if a student has spoken with or received permission from the professor/department at the host institution, the Office of the Registrar is the only authority at the host institution who can approve your enrollment. If you begin attending a class without receiving approval from the Office of the Registrar at your home and host institution, you will not receive credit for the course. Retroactive cross registration request forms will not be accepted.
• Students should not cross register for a course that is offered at Point Park during the same term unless there are exceptional circumstances.
• Students may cross register for a course of interest as long as all other degree requirements are being met.
• Any request forms submitted after the posted deadline are not guaranteed to be reviewed by the host institution and will likely be denied. Absolutely no request forms will be accepted after Point Park’s add/drop deadline.
•  Students must adhere to both Point Park’s and the host institution’s registration deadlines. Drop requests received after Point Park’s drop deadline but before the host institution’s drop deadline will be processed as a withdrawal at Point Park and show as a W on the Point Park transcript.
• Students are responsible for notifying the host institution if you wish to drop/withdrawal from the cross-registered course. Once you receive final confirmation from the host institution, you must then notify the Office of the University Registrar at Point Park.
