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
pay close attention when looking up a course, to the "Enrollment Information" in the "Class Detail" to determine
if instructor consent is required to enroll. To register for a course that requires instructor consent,
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 which could take a week or more following course enrollment. 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.
