Interinstitutional Registration
Information for Students Visiting Duke University
Students wishing to register for a Duke University course through the
Interinstitutional Registration Program should contact the registrar's office of their home institution for instructions
regarding initial registration procedures. Visiting interinstitutional students cannot participate in the online registration
process at Duke.
Students should submit their
Interinstitutional Approval Form to their home institution giving ample time for review/action prior to the beginning of classes at Duke.
Priority for registration for all Duke University courses is given to Duke students. Interinstitutional students are assigned to available class
seats beginning on the first day of drop/add. Interinstitutional students are not included on wait lists.
Visiting students should review the Duke University
Academic Calendar before requesting
enrollment. Students graduating concurrently with interinstitutional enrollment should pay particular attention to the Duke University
Exam Schedule.
Registration Deadlines: Visiting students should observe and follow the
registration deadlines, including drop/add, of their home institution.
Permission Required: Please check all course footnotes
carefully. To register for a course that has a foot-note of "A", students must obtain a permission number from the instructor.
The permission number must be listed on the Interinstitutional Approval Form when it is submitted to the Duke University Office of the University
Registrar. Verbal permission is not acceptable. During the last week of the Drop/Add period, a permission number is required to register for all
Law, Nursing and undergraduate courses.
Confirmation of Enrollment: Confirmation of class enrollment will
be sent to the email address on the Interinstitutional Approval Form.
Access to Course Materials: Course materials (syllabi, homework assignments, etc.)
for many Duke University courses are available online to enrolled students via
Blackboard. In order to access Blackboard you will need a Duke
NetID and password. The Office of Information Technology (OIT) will mail the NetID and password to visiting students within 24 hours of enrollment
completion. Because of this time delay, visiting student enrollment completed after classes begin will be subject to a delay in accessibility to
Blackboard. Visiting students are encouraged to seek the understanding and cooperation of instructors on this issue. The Office of the University
Registrar will make every effort to process interinstitutional enrollment in a timely manner to minimize any inconvenience.
Tuition: Charges for courses taken at Duke will be billed to the student's account at the
home institution according to the rates at the home institution. There may be special fees associated with a particular course and should be paid at Duke University.
Grades: Grades will be reported at the end of the term to the Registrar's
Office of the visiting student's home institution. Grades will be in accordance with the Duke University grading system and
will be converted into the home institution's grading system by the home institution before being added to the student's record.
Library Usage: Visiting students must present a current student ID with an
active expiration date from their home institution when checking out material from the Perkins Library. More information
concerning library usage is available from the Duke University Perkins Librrary Circulation Desk at 919/660-5870.
Parking and Transportation: To find available parking at Duke and for
information on transportation between Duke and other universities, you may visit
