*PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING*
CROSS-REGISTRATION INFORMATION
The attached Cross-Registration Petition has been pre-signed by the Fletcher Registrar. It is your
responsibility to know the rules governing cross-registration. Please refer to your current Student
Handbook and the information on Non-Fletcher Courses and Cross-Registration that is included in the
Academic Policies and Procedures section. It is assumed that by completing a cross-registration, you
have read, understand, and agree to comply with these policies. Please also note the following:

It is your responsibility to know the cross-registration deadlines at each of the Tufts Schools and
abide by the earlier deadline.

Students completing exchange or joint degree programs are not eligible to cross-register. If you are
a first year student considering participating in an exchange or a joint degree you should refrain
from cross-registration.

MALD, MIB, MA, LLM, and External Admit PhD students can meet up to 25% of their program
requirements with non-Fletcher courses (incl. both cross-registered and transferred courses).

Exchange Students (those visiting FL) may take one course outside of Fletcher during their term at
Fletcher.

A maximum of 2 course credits may be taken by cross-registration in any one term. This is
assuming that the student is enrolled in four courses in a given term. In other words, no more
than 50% of a student’s program for the term can be taken outside of Fletcher.

All courses taken via cross-registration must be graduate level courses. The only exception is
foreign language classes.

Foreign Language Courses:
 Students cross-registering to take a language class for credit must also submit a petition to
CSAP requesting approval for language study. The language study must be relevant for the
student’s academic program and/or professional goals.
 Students cross-registering to take a language class for audit must use the Language Audit form
and not this form.

Winter Term Courses: All courses taken during the winter term will be counted toward the spring
term – no exceptions.

Grades: Courses taken through cross-registration must be taken for letter grades. Grades of B(minus) or above are considered passing at Fletcher, even if a grade below B- is considered passing
at the host school. Although Fletcher does not compute or report GPA’s for external use, students
should note that non-letter graded courses are not factored into a student’s GPA when applying to
the PhD program at Fletcher nor can they be considered when students compute their own GPA for
external purposes.

Dropping a Cross-Registered Course: If you want to drop a cross-registered course, you must begin
by notifying Fletcher (your home school), but you must also observe the deadlines for both the
home or host school, whichever comes first, and also inform the host school promptly. Failure to
do this will result in a permanent withdrawal code of “W” being recorded on your official transcript
for the course.
