1. There are only two spaces available for class requests and alternates on the application, but I would like to request more than one section of a class or more than two different types of classes. How do I make that request on the application?
You can either write further instruction on the back of the application or provide an additional sheet detailing your request. The cross-registration coordinators will take those into consideration when trying to register you. Please remember that student can only take up to two (2) classes at the visiting school per semester.
2. I'm requesting a class I have to have to graduate that same semester. How can I ensure I'll be registered?
Through cross-registration, there are no guarantees that you will be registered for the class you are requesting. You must always have an alternate plan should your application be denied.
3. What is the difference between ARCHE cross-registration and being a transient student?
ARCHE cross-registration students are able to take classes at partnering ARCHE schools as guest students. The credit that is transferred back will count as Georgia Tech resident credit, and the tuition/mandatory student fees are all paid to Georgia Tech.
A transient student goes through the formal admission process through the visiting school. All tuition/mandatory fees are paid directly to the visiting school, and the transfer credit that is completed will be transferred as non-resident transfer credit. For undergraduate student, non-resident transfer credit is subject to the 36-hour rule.
4. Can I participate in ARCHE cross-registration and not attend Georgia Tech at the same time?
No, you must be enrolled at least three (3) billable credit hours at Georgia Tech while participating in the ARCHE Cross Registration program.
5. Can I register at multiple ARCHE schools during the semester?
Students may submit multiple applications, however, registration will only be allowed at one participating school.
6. How many classes can I take?
Students are permitted to take two (2) classes or 6 credit hours at the visiting school per semester. Undergraduate students may not exceed a total of 18 attempted hours of ARCHE participation.
7. Can I use ARCHE cross-registration to do study abroad with another school?
No, you cannot study abroad through ARCHE cross-registration because you would also be registered and enrolled for classes at Georgia Tech Atlanta.
8. Do the classes I take at an ARCHE partner school count towards enrolled hours at Georgia Tech?
Yes, placeholder hours are put on your GT schedule to match the number of hours enrolled at the host institution.
9. Do the classes I take at an ARCHE partner school count towards my Georgia Tech GPA?
No, credits earned through ARCHE cross registration are not factored in the calculation of your Georgia Tech GPA.
10. How will I know what credit will be given for my class?
Undergraduate students can review the transfer equivalency tables for course evaluations. Many, but not all, graduate-level courses are listed. Graduate students should consult their academic advisor for cross-registration course applicability.
11. "Appropriate dept must evaluate" is listed as a transfer equivalency for coursework I have taken/plan to take through ARCHE. How do I have the credit evaluated?
If courses are not pre-approved, it is the student's responsibility to request the appropriate department evaluate the credit. Please consult with your academic advisor for assistance.
