Cross-Registration at Other
Institutions
The Higher Education Council of Columbus
(HECC) is an association of colleges and
universities in central Ohio established to
develop programs that benefit its member
institutions and the community at large.
As a service to students, HECC member
institutions have approved a system of crossregistration
for regularly enrolled, full-time
undergraduate students at the following
colleges and universities:
Capital University
Central Ohio Technical College
Columbus College of Art and Design
Columbus State Community College
DeVry University
Franklin University
Mount Carmel College of Nursing
Ohio Dominican University
The Ohio State University
Otterbein University
Pontifical College Josephinum
Cross-registration is limited to one course
per term (Autumn and/or Spring only), with
a maximum of three cross-registered courses
during a student’s academic experience. The
course taken must be an enrichment class to
the student’s program of study at Columbus
State. To participate in cross-registration, a
Columbus State Community College student
must be in good academic standing and
maintain full-time status during the semester
he or she is requesting permission to
participate in cross-registration. The course
section requested for cross-registration
must have space available as determined
by the host institution. The Columbus
State student does not pay tuition to the
host institution but may be charged other
enrollment-related fees, such as laboratory
or parking fees. A grade for the course taken
at a host institution will be posted only on
the student’s Columbus State transcript.
A Columbus State student interested in
cross-registering for a course must obtain
approval from his or her academic advisor,
the Office of the Registrar at Columbus
State, and from the host institution’s
Registrar. It is the student’s responsibility
to make certain that the host institution’s
calendar, course schedule, course content,
and credit are compatible with his or her
goals and Columbus State Community
College requirements. Each institution has
established cross-registration deadlines
which must be met to participate. For more
information, please contact the Office of
the Registrar.

said student turns 18 after completing an
admissions application, he is required to

submit his Selective Service number, the
