Cross Registration

The Cross Registration Program allows degree-seeking students access to academic opportunities not available at Antioch College. Students may register for courses that are available at other SOCHE institutions and Greater Cincinnati Collegiate Connection (GC3) institutions.

Desired course(s) must not be available at Antioch College during the term the student wishes to enroll and must be course(s) required for the student’s program. Generally, most courses, except study abroad, are eligible—subject to space availability, completion of prerequisite courses, and permission of both Antioch College and the host institution.
