Greater Greensboro Consortium

Participating Institutions

Any college or university approved by the GGC to participate in the cross-registration program. These include Bennett, Elon, Greensboro, GTCC, Guilford, High Point, NC A&T SU, and UNCG.

Home Campus

The Home Campus is the participating institution at which a student is enrolled in a degree program.

Host Campus

A participating institution (other than a student's home campus) at which a student takes one or more courses.

Consortium Eligibility

Consortium students must be degree-seeking students, currently enrolled in one of the participating institutions. They must have the permission of the coordinating officer (normally the Registrar) from their HOME Campus. Consortium students may not cross-register for courses inappropriate to the degree they seek or to their class status; for example, sophomores can take sophomore level classes and undergraduates may take only undergraduate courses.

Limits

There is no limit to the number of courses that consortium students may take at other institutions, although students must be enrolled for at least six semester hours at the home institution (GTCC). One-half of students course work must be completed at the HOME campus. This program is not intended for courses that are designed to be self supporting, so independent studies are not available.

Procedures for Registering

*** GTCC is your HOME Institution ***

GTCC students can cross-register to take classes at any of the other seven approved institutions. Course schedules from participating institutions are available on the school web page. The following administrative procedures must be followed to properly enroll and receive credit:

counter or Academic Advising Office.

2) Fill out the form.

5) Go to the HOST campus and register at the appropriate time.

6) After registering at the HOST campus, you are to bring your HOST registration receipt and the
consortium form to Enrollment Services. Your schedule will be noted and you will be advised of
any tuition adjustments. (The additional courses will count in the amount of curriculum credit
hours for the current semester.)

7) Your HOME campus Registrar's Office will issue you a consortium parking pass.

8) The Consortium Program is not available during the Summer Term.

*** GTCC is Your HOST Institution ***

1) Visiting students must complete a GTCC admission application and provide official college transcripts prior to
consortium registration. There is no admissions application fee.

2) Students from participating GGC colleges are eligible to cross-register for courses at GTCC on
the last day of open registration and during the drop/add period. (Please see GTCC web-site or
curriculum schedule for dates.)

3) Visiting students must bring in their completed consortium form from the HOME institution,
signed by their HOME campus Registrar.

4) Students may register for GTCC courses on a space available basis.

Tuition and Fees

Tuition and fees are paid to the HOME campus. Fees are not charged by the HOST campus for cross registration courses unless there are special charges (such as laboratory fees, insurance, course materials, etc.). In these cases, consortium students must pay these charges to the HOST campus.

Financial Aid

Financial Aid is awarded, disbursed, and accounted for by the financial aid officer on the student's HOME campus. No funds are exchanged among participating institutions.

Schedule Adjustment

Students may add classes during the drop/add period if they have written permission from their HOME institution. The consent must be documented on the consortium form. All students are required to abide by the HOST campus' rules, guidelines, and deadlines pertaining to dropping classes and withdrawals. To withdraw, students must withdraw formally from both their HOME and HOST campuses.

Use of Educational Resources

Educational resources and support services at the HOST campus are made available to consortium students as required. These include research and library resources. Students will need to show the consortium receipt to library officials to gain library privileges.

An ID card will not be issued by the HOST campus to students from other campuses who are participating in the consortium program. As a result, consortium students are not eligible to use recreational facilities which require a HOST campus ID card.

Grades and Grading Procedures

It is the responsibility of the HOST institution to send the HOME institution the grade of the consortium student at the completion of the semester. This grade is recorded on the student's transcript at his or her HOME campus.

A student requesting a grade change will need to abide by the governing policies of the HOST institution. All students participating in the consortium program should contact the Registrar's Office of the HOST campus to determine the appropriate procedures for grade changes.
