Introduction
If approved by their home institution, non-Empire State University students may cross register with Empire State University.
Visiting students that have not taken a course with SUNY Empire State University (SUNY Empire) previously will need to complete a nondegree application.
SUNY-to-SUNY Empire Cross Registration
1. Students must go to the SUNY Cross-registration Portal to submit a cross registration request. They will use their home institution login ID and password to enter the portal. A paper form is not needed if both schools are in the SUNY system.
It is critical to enter accurate student and course information into the request. To obtain SUNY Empire course information Browse the Term Guide. Inaccurate information can lead to a delayed or even denied request.
Note: Students should consult with their home school regarding any cross-registration requests. SUNY Empire cannot advise on cross-registration process at another institution, including the student's home institution.
2. Once approved by the home institution and SUNY Empire, students must log into the MySUNYEmpire Student Portal and register for their course(s). Please visit our Student Registration Quick Guide if assistance is needed.
3. Students are responsible for notifying the appropriate offices at both institutions if they drop or withdraw from the course(s).
4. At the completion of the course with SUNY Empire, the Registrar’s Office will upload an official transcript to the SUNY Cross-registration Portal.
Non-SUNY-to-SUNY Empire Cross Registration:
1. If students need a waiver of some or all of their charges, the paperwork must be submitted to StudentAccounts@sunyempire.edu by the payment due date of every term or their registration may be cancelled. The charges may be deferred if the student is matriculated at another SUNY school or at an institution that is a member of one of the consortiums in which SUNY Empire also belongs.
2. If a student receives financial aid and intends to pay their SUNY Empire bill with financial aid funds from their home institution, they will need to complete their institution's Financial Aid Consortium Agreement Form and submit it to StudentAccounts@sunyempire.edu.
3. Students must log into the MySUNYEmpire Student Portal and register for their SUNY Empire course(s). Please visit our Student Registration Quick Guide if assistance is needed. As long as a valid Financial Aid Consortium Agreement is on file, we will defer charges and allow a student’s registration to remain active after the payment due date. Students are responsible for their charges at SUNY Empire and must pay their bill when financial aid proceeds are received. Unpaid accounts are referred to a third party collection agency. See Collection of Unpaid Accounts for more information
4. At the completion of the course with SUNY Empire, it is the responsibility of the student to order official transcript and send it to their home institution.
