Students who are not admitted to a degree program at UNCG may need to follow a different registration process. These student types include:

Visiting students 

Students that are not pursuing a degree at UNCG that wish to take UNCG courses are considered “visiting students” and fall into one of the following categories:

Both must apply as visiting students. Visiting students follow later registration dates and do not need to go through the same advising process as other students. 

You may earn up to 21 credits as a visiting student and will have to reapply each semester. You will not be eligible to receive financial aid because you will not be in a “degree-seeking” program. Former students cannot apply as visiting students. Visiting students wishing to transfer courses must have permission from their home institution by submitting a completed Visiting Student Permission Form.

Visiting students can obtain more information from The Admissions Website.

Inter-Institutional students 

The Inter-Institutional program is designed to expand the course options available to degree-seeking students currently enrolled in the six universities listed below:

  • Duke University
  • North Carolina Central University 
  • North Carolina State University
  • UNC Chapel Hill 
  • UNC Charlotte
  • UNC Greensboro

Current UNCG students who wish to enroll in courses at a participating university should submit a completed Inter-Institutional Approval Form to the University Registrar’s Office by email. Approval signatures from the student’s academic advisor and college/school dean are required. When approved by the UNCG Registrar, the form is forwarded to the host university, and the Registrar’s office at the host university registers the student for the class(es). When registration at the host university is confirmed, the University Registrar’s Office at UNCG adds a CNS 100 “placeholder” course to the student’s UNCG registration. Inter-Institutional students pay for the host university course at UNCG (via the placeholder course) and not at the host university.

With a grade of ‘C’ (2.0) or higher, coursework completed at the host university will be added to the student’s UNCG academic record as transfer credit. Transfer credit does not impact the UNCG GPA and cannot be used for grade replacements.

Students must adhere to the rules of the host university relative to deadlines, withdrawals, and grades. The University Registrar’s Office at UNCG must be notified of any course drops/withdrawals.

Students from Inter-Institutional partner schools who wish to take courses at UNCG should submit a completed Inter-Institutional Approval Form to the Registrar’s office at their home university. When approved, the home university will forward the form to UNCG for processing. The University Registrar’s Office at UNCG will register Inter-Institutional students for classes at UNCG and will contact the student when registration is complete.

Note: Students wishing to enroll in courses in the Bryan School of Business and Economics must meet school entrance requirements and must provide their home university transcript before enrollment will be approved.

  • Students must be registered for the same number of hours or more at the home institution as they plan on being registered for at the host institution.
  • Maximum credit hours allowed for Fall and Spring are 18; maximum credit hours for Summer are 14. Students who plan to take more than the maximum allowed should contact their academic advisor and request a maximum credit hour increase.
  • To see how undergraduate courses will transfer back to UNCG, view the UNCG Transfer Credit Planner.
  • If courses transfer as elective credit (ex: CHE 000), you must contact your advisor or department to request a curriculum modification.

Greater Greensboro Consortium students 

The Greater Greensboro Consortium (GGC) program is designed to expand the course registration options available to degree-seeking students who are currently enrolled in the eight colleges and universities below:

  • Bennett College
  • Elon University 
  • Greensboro College 
  • Guilford College 
  • Guilford Technical Community College
  • High Point University 
  • North Carolina A&T State University 
  • UNC Greensboro

Current UNCG students who wish to enroll in courses at a GGC participating school should submit a completed Consortium Cross-Registration form to the University Registrar’s Office by email. An approval signature from the student’s academic advisor is required. When approved by the UNCG Registrar, the form is forwarded to the host institution and the Registrar’s office at the host institution registers the student for the class(es). When registration at the host institution is confirmed, the University Registrar’s Office at UNCG adds a CNS 100 “placeholder” course to the student’s UNCG registration. GGC students pay for the host institution course at UNCG (via the placeholder course) and not at the host school.

With a grade of ‘C’ (2.0) or higher, coursework completed at the host institution will be added to the student’s UNCG academic record as transfer credit. Transfer credit does not impact the UNCG GPA and cannot be used for grade replacements.

Students must adhere to the rules of the host institution relative to deadlines, withdrawals, and grades. The University Registrar’s Office at UNCG must be notified of any course drops/withdrawals.

Students from GGC partner schools who wish to take courses at UNCG should submit a completed Consortium Cross-Registration form to the Registrar’s office at their home school. When approved, the home institution will forward the form to UNCG for processing. The University Registrar’s Office at UNCG will register GGC students for classes at UNCG and will contact the student when registration is complete.

Note: Students wishing to enroll in courses in the Bryan School of Business and Economics must meet school entrance requirements and must provide their home university transcript before enrollment will be approved.

  • Students must be registered for the same number of hours or more at the home institution as they plan on being registered for at the host institution.
