For cross-registration or consortium course options, be sure to check on the following:
- Commuting between the campuses. Barnard - Columbia and the Claremont colleges are extremely convenient. Some other colleges may not be as convenient to commute between.
- Academic calendars. Consortia which have the same academic calendars are obviously more convenient since it can be a hassle if you have to attend class or final exam at the cross registration college but your dorm at your home college is not open, or your final exam time at the cross registration college conflicts with class time or final exam time at your home college.
- Administrative limitations by either school on cross registration, including where in the priority one is for popular courses.
