the Basics for Getting Started

Step 1 RESEARCHVisit the class schedule of the host campus and determine the class you would like to take. Review the dates of classes, breaks, and holidays because you will be following the host campus' academic calendar.

Step 2 ELIGIBILITY: Review the Guidelines and Requirements for course exchange to ensure you are eligible

Step 3 SUBMIT: Complete the Tri-College Course Exchange Registration Form and submit it to your HOME campus registrar's office. Always submit forms early because forms are processed in the order they are received at both the home campus and the host campus. Tri-College registration is processed during the host campuses open enrollment period. ??Questions - contact the home campus registrar's office.   

Step 4 CHECK: The completed registration is listed on your home campus course schedule. Keep in mind that registration between campuses is a manual process and extra time is needed for processing. Registration is processed during the open enrollment period at the host campus. 

Step 5 PREPARE: Record the class start date and follow all instructions at the host campus. 

You do not need to do anything else because your tuition, financial aid, academic grades, and credits are all covered and posted by your home institution.

If you have questions, contact your home campus registrar's office and ask to speak to the Tri-College Registration Specialist or contact the Tri-College University office at (701) 231-8170 or email at Tri-College@ndsu.edu.
