Students wishing to register for a Duke University course through the Interinstitutional Registration Program should contact the registrar's office of their home institution for instructions regarding initial registration procedures.

Visiting interinstitutional students cannot participate in the online registration process at Duke.

Students should submit an Interinstitutional Approval Form to their home institution giving ample time for review/action prior to the beginning of classes at Duke. Priority for registration for all Duke University courses is given to Duke students. Interinstitutional students are assigned to available class seats beginning on the first day of drop/add. Interinstitutional students are not included on wait lists.

Visiting students should review the Duke University Academic Calendar before requesting enrollment. Students graduating concurrently with interinstitutional enrollment should pay particular attention to the Duke University Exam Schedule.

General Policies for Students Visiting Duke

Visiting students should observe and follow the registration deadlines, including drop/add, of their home institution.

Pay close attention when looking up a course, to the "Enrollment Information" in the "Class Detail" to determine if instructor consent is required to enroll. To register for a course that requires instructor consent, students must obtain a permission number from the instructor. The permission number must be listed on the Interinstitutional Approval Form when it is submitted to the Office of the University Registrar. Verbal permission is not acceptable. During the last week of the Drop/Add period, a permission number is required to register for all Law, Nursing and undergraduate courses.

Confirmation of class enrollment will be sent to the email address on the Interinstitutional Approval Form. The notification will include all pertinent information relating to registration and auxiliary services.

Within 48 hours after you receive your confirmation of enrollment, students will receive an email from the Office of Information Technology (OIT) that will include a link for a student to receive a NetID and password which will enable the student to access DukeHub and Canvas. If enrollment is completed after classes have started, students will not have access to DukeHub and Canvas. Course materials (syllabi, homework assignments, etc.) are available only in DukeHub and Canvas.

Charges for courses taken at Duke will be billed to the student's account at the home institution according to the rates at the home institution. There may be special fees associated with a particular course and should be paid at Duke University. All extemporaneous fees accrued while at Duke University are the responsibility of the student and should be paid to the Duke Bursar's office. The student should regularly monitor their Duke assigned email account for any possible fee statements issued to them. Failure to do so could result in late payment fees or collections. Any questions should be referred to the Duke Bursar's office directly at (919) 684-3531. Click here for more about the Duke Bursar office billing schedule.

Grades will be reported at the end of the term to the Registrar's Office of the visiting student's home institution. Grades will be in accordance with the Duke University grading system and will be converted into the home institution's grading system by the home institution before being added to the student's record.

Visiting students must present a current student ID with an active expiration date from their home institution when checking out material from the Perkins Library. More information concerning library usage is available from the Duke University Perkins Library Circulation Desk at (919) 660-5870.
