Cross-Registration Options
Brown University
A limited number of Wheaton students may cross-register for Brown University courses in subjects or areas not covered in the Wheaton curriculum. Students may not take specific classes at Brown that are offered at Wheaton without the consent of the faculty advisor. A minimum GPA of 2.67 (B-) is required to apply. Students can take up to two classes at Brown during their time at Wheaton, and they must be in different semesters while taking three courses at Wheaton. Students taking a language at Brown that is not offered at Wheaton (Catalan, Czech, Modern Greek, Haitian Creole, Hebrew, Hindi-Urdu, Korean, Modern Persian, Portuguese, and Swedish) may do so for four semesters. Course and credit are posted as transfer work on the Wheaton transcript.
Applications and details regarding eligibility and other limitations for Brown cross-registration are available in the Kollett Center and should be referred to before completing the application process. The student≠s faculty advisor must sign off on the application. Both Dean Trayford at Wheaton and Dean Krahulik at Brown must approve all applications. Application for cross-registration must be submitted to Dean Trayford in the Kollett Center by the end of the week of registration every semester.
Transportation to and from Brown University is the responsibility of the student. Pay careful attention to the times courses are offered so that you can plan for enough travel time to Providence (especially for parking).
SACHEM
The Southeastern Association for Cooperation in Higher Education in Massachusetts is a collaborative effort among nine local colleges that allows full-time students to enroll in a limited number of courses at other SACHEM institutions. Members of SACHEM are Bridgewater State College, Stonehill College, University of Massachusetts - Dartmouth, Massachusetts Maritime Academy, Dean College, Cape Cod Community College, Bristol Community College and Massasoit Community College. Students may take courses for credit (posted as transfer work) at any of the nine colleges with the approval of their faculty advisors and the Wheaton Registrar, providing that such courses are unavailable at Wheaton.
Boston Marine Studies Consortium
Wheaton students may enroll through the normal preregistration process in one of eight Marine Studies courses offered through the member schools of the Boston Marine Studies Consortium. Students may generally enroll in no more than two courses, generally one per semester. Eligible students must be enrolled as full-time students at Wheaton and, where appropriate, have the necessary prerequisite courses. Courses are taught at Brandeis University, Northeastern University and the New England Aquarium. Students must provide their own transportation. Students should direct questions to the advising center.
