Intercollegiate 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 our students with no extra tuition charge if those courses are not offered at Rochester during that semester or if our courses conflict irremediably with their schedules. Registration forms are available online at the registrar's website.

Please note that the dean’s approval (not the registrar’s) is required for University of Rochester undergraduates.

Full-time students can take one course 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/compariable, 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, although they will appear 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 Stephen Armstrong at stephen.armstrong@rochester.edu.
