Cross-Registration with Brandeis

Brandeis operates on a different yearly calendar from Wellesley. For accurate dates for the academic year, please consult the Brandeis Academic Calendar. Course selection may be found in the Brandeis Course Bulletin.

Academic Calendars for Exhange Schools (Wellesley, MIT, Babson, Brandeis and Olin)
The fall term presents fewer conflicts for Wellesley students than the spring term which, for Brandeis students, begins and finishes a week earlier (with a different vacation schedule). Students must agree to meet classes at the normal time if they desire to participate in the program. Some students may have to return to Wellesley a week earlier in January.

Cross-Registration Process

1. Go to the Wellesley Registrar's Office and pick up a Cross Registration Form and an Application for Transfer and Summer School Credit for each class you plan to take at Brandeis.

2. Obtain an approval signature from the Wellesley Registrar's Office on the Cross Registration Form. Submit also the Application for Transfer and Summer School Credit, following the directions printed on that form.

3. Go to Brandeis's Registrar's Office to get approval to take the course(s) you want . Obtain an approval signature on theCross Registration Form and leave the yellow copy at Brandeis.

4. Return the signed original form to the Wellesley Registrar's Office.

NOTE: All Brandeis courses must be approved individually for transfer credit and for the major by the relevant Wellesley department, and approval forms must be filed with the Wellesley Registrar, as indicated above. Credit, but no grade, will appear on your Wellesley transcript, and the course will not be figured into your GPA.

The following courses/departments have already been approved and do not require additional approval forms:

Economics 12A - Accounting - no distribution credit

Economics 71 and 141 - SBS distribution

English courses - LL distribution

Fine Arts Courses - ARS distribution

Sociology courses - SBA distribution

Limitations

Each college reserves the right to close any course or give first priority to its own students where enrollments are limited. Wellesley students may not enroll in either independent study or directed reading courses at Brandeis.

Dropping and Adding Courses

Students who wish to drop a course may do so up to the 40th day of instruction without academic penalty, providing they adhere to the constraints of rate-of-work. In such cases, a program change form must be submitted to the Office of the University Registrar (Brandeis Bulletin). THE RULE OF THUMB IN ALL PROCEDURES: CONSULT THE BULLETIN AND ABIDE BY RULES OF THE HOST INSTITUTION.

Libraries

By showing your Wellesley ID, you may use the Brandeis libraries on the same basis as Brandeis students.
