Exchange of Students Between Institutions in the State System of Higher Education

Students enrolled at Eastern may, from time to time, benefit significantly from taking a course not available at Eastern but offered at another state university, regional community college, or the University of Connecticut.

Full-time students in good academic standing who have paid their tuition in full for the semester in which the exchange is anticipated may be admitted, without further charge, to any appropriate course offered by any other institution within the Connecticut State University System, the Regional Community College system, or the University of Connecticut, provided the admitting institution can accept the student without depriving its own students of an opportunity to take the course. The student's admission to such courses must be recommended by an appropriate academic officer at Eastern. One course is the norm during any one semester. Guidelines for the program follow.

1. Students must be enrolled for a minimum 12 credits at Eastern for the semester.
2. Students must consult with their academic advisors to determine the need for taking a non-Eastern course. The specific course and its scheduled availability should be identified to determine its impact on the student's course schedule at Eastern.
3. Students must fill out the Cross Registration Program form and return to the Registrar's office at registrar@easternct.edu.
4. Students admitted to the course will register under the procedures for unclassified students in the host institution. A transcript record of credit earned must be forwarded to the Registrar's Office immediately after the course is completed.
5. Students who have paid the maximum tuition and fees of full-time students at their home institution are exempt from further charges except laboratory or other special fees. Copies of their receipted fee bills will be accepted by the host institution in lieu of payment.

Credits received under these provisions will be treated as though they were earned at Eastern and will become a regular part of the student's transcript. Further information regarding the program can be obtained by contacting the Advising Center. Courses taken outside the Exchange Agreement are subject to regulation above.
