Duke Students Visiting Other Campuses

All of the following steps must be completed in order to be properly registered and to receive a grade. Registration must be completed at both Duke University and the visited institution. No enrollment is considered to be completed until enrollment confirmation is received by the student.

1. Complete the Interinstitutional Approval Form (linked above). Approval forms may also be obtained at the Office of the University Registrar and in most of the offices of the Deans, Directors of Graduate and Undergraduate Studies. Be sure to list complete course information, using subject abbreviation and course number, on the form. The class number is not required. No other registration process is necessary at the visited school.
2. Approval Signatures. Approval signatures may vary by school
   • Divinity School - Dean's signature only (Daniel Castelo or Deborah Hackney)
   • Fuqua - School signature only (Pamela White or Sharon Campen)
   • Graduate School - Departmental and dean’s signature (DGS/Advisor and Helene McAdams)
   • Law School - Dean’s signature only (Tia Barnes or Amanda Lacoff)
   • Nicholas School of the Environment - School signature only (Erika Lovelace)
   • Sanford School of Public Policy - School signature only (Anita Lyon)
   • Undergraduates - Departmental and dean’s signature. Both the Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) for the subject being taken and the student's Academic Dean will need to approve the undergraduate student's Interinstitutional registration. The DUS approval should be obtained before requesting the Dean's approval.
   • Check Course Footnotes - To determine if permission is required to register for a course, check the Schedule of Courses to see if a footnote indicating as such is listed for the course. Permissions will vary according to schools.
3. Instructor's Permission. With the exception of NCCU, if the course bears a footnote which indicates that permission of the instructor is required to register, the student may make arrangements to have the instructor's permission forwarded to the Registrar's Office of the visited institution (written or by e-mail, no telephone calls accepted), or obtain instructor's signature on the Interinstitutional approval form. Instructor's permission to register at NCCU should accompany the approval form.
4. Special Note to Graduate Students. Enrollment only in continuation credit does not meet the requirement to be registered for the balance of a normal load at Duke. The credit unit for continuation does not count in the cumulative credits needed to meet the balance of a normal load requirement.
5. Form Submission. Once the Interinstitutional Approval Form has been completed and all required approval signatures obtained, submit the form by fax, email, or in person to the Office of the University Registrar.
6. Confirmation of Enrollment. Confirmation of class enrollment will be sent to the email address on the Interinstitutional Approval Form. Response time varies per university. Questions concerning registration and auxiliary services should be directed to the visited institution.

Students may not enroll in online/distance education courses under the interinstitutional registration agreement.

Billing will be done for Interinstitutional registration at Duke's rates. If there is a special fee associated with a particular course, the fee should be paid at the visited school. All other extemporaneous fees accrued while at the visited institution including, but not limited to parking, library, and ID cards, are the responsibility of the student and should also be paid at the visited school.  Failure to do so could result in late payment fees and collections. The student should regularly monitor their assigned email account at the visited school for any possible fee statements they may be issued. Any questions should be referred to the visited institution's Bursar's office directly.

At the end of the term, the Registrar's Office of the visited school will report grades to Duke. Grades will be in accordance with the visited school's grading system and will be converted into Duke's grading system before being added to the student's record. Interinstitutional courses may not be taken on a pass/fail or audit basis.

The Duke University drop/add deadlines should always be observed when requesting to drop or add an Interinstitutional course.

• To drop an Interinstitutional course notify the Office of the University Registrar prior to the end of the drop/add deadline. The class will be dropped from your record, and the visited school will be notified to do the same.
• To add an additional Interinstitutional course or to change from one course to another, the initial procedures must be repeated and must be done during the Duke University drop/add period.

UNC-CH and NCSU

To add a course after the visited institution's drop/add deadline, instructor's permission is required and should be either presented with the approval form or forwarded to the visited institution's Registrar's Office.

NCCU

Registration after the last day to add a course requires written permission from the instructor and should be submitted with the approval form.

Students should contact the circulation desk at the library of the visited school to obtain information on the use of the library.
