SUNY Cross Registration
Our Cross-registration policy promotes timely degree completion by providing students
access to courses not available at NCC but offered at other SUNY campuses while enrolled
at NCC.
For more information, please contact the Registrar's Office at registrar@ncc.edu
Cross-registration occurs when one SUNY institution provides instruction for a student enrolled in a degree or certificate program at another SUNY institution during the same academic term. Cross-registered instruction may be delivered in any instructional format (i.e. in person or online). The primary goal of the policy is to promote timely degree completion by providing students access to courses unavailable at their home campus by enrolling at other SUNY campuses

Important Facts:
HOST STUDENTS:
- Nassau grants priority registration to new, transfer and continuing matriculated students, therefore your request to cross-register at NCC is subject to the availability of space.
- NCC is not responsible for or required to verify that the course you are attempting to register for is equivalent to a course that is part of your degree requirements at your home campus. This is the responsibility of your home campus and you, the student.
- Students are responsible for meeting the prerequisites for cross-registered courses and should discuss prerequisites with their home campus advisor before putting in the application request.
- Upon completion of the term, a transcript will be sent to your home campus' Registrar's Office on your behalf. If you wish to have your transcript sent to any other location, it can be requested via your MyNCC portal. Transcripts cannot be sent for students with holds/restrictions on their account.
- The application shall not be considered complete until all required offices have reviewed and approved their appropriate sections. Some campuses are closed between December 25th and January 1st. Please allow for additional processing time if you submit your application during this time.
NCC (HOME) Students:
- If you drop or withdraw from a host campus course, you must inform the NCC Registrar's Office.
- The application shall not be considered complete until all required offices have reviewed and approved their appropriate sections. Some campuses are closed between December 25th and January 1st. Please allow for additional processing time if you submit your application during this time.
