Tutorials are limited to three credit hours. Students may register for
only one tutorial in a given department per semester and for only two
tutorials per semester in total.

To ensure adequate time for proper review of tutorial proposals, both
proposals and registration forms should be submitted to the dean in
a fi nished state before the end of the semester preceding the proposed
tutorial study. No tutorial proposal submitted later than three work-
ing days prior to the end of the change of schedule period will be
considered. It is the responsibility of the student to ascertain that the
tutorial has been approved.

General Cross-registration Procedures

Cross-registration is a cooperative program designed to expand the
educational opportunities available to students and staff of the four
colleges of the consortium. It provides any full-time matriculated
student or full-time employee in a member college the opportunity to
enroll at a course off ered by another member college. A cross-registered
course is used to improve the depth and variety of the student's ap-
proved academic program.

Full-time matriculated students and staff at SUNY Canton, Clarkson
University, SUNY Potsdam and St. Lawrence University may take up
to two courses per academic year (including summer session[s]) at any
of the other institutions on a space-available basis. Through cross-regis-
tration, full-time matriculated students and staff have access to courses
in both major and elective areas representing specialties unavailable
or closed at their home institution. ere also exist formal curricular
arrangements among institutions.

1. It is the student's responsibility to determine whether or not a

particuluar course satisfi es reuirements for a major, certifi ciate or
license, or graduation.

2. It is the student's responsibility to follow registration deadlines for

adding, dropping and withdrawing from courses in eff ect at their
home institution.

Cost: tuition is paid to the student's home institution under the policies
of that institution. If cross-registration credits result in a course load
requiring additional tuition charges at the home school, the student is
responsible for those charges just as if the cross-registered credits were
home school credits.

ere is no additional charge to cross register for courses as long as the

individual meets the eligibility requirements. A student does have to pay
any special fees, such as lab fees, fees for registration or transcripts, etc.

Grades and Credit: students follow all course requirements as stated by
the course instructor. Grades and credit earned are treated as residential
and identifi ed as cross-registrations on students' permanent record.

Class Attendance: students are required to meet any attendance require-
ments as stated by the instructor and are responsible for arranging
transportation. Many students drive, share rides or simply walk to
class as appropriate.

leges, (315) 267-3331 or Registrar's Office, (315) 267-2154.
