Bay Area Working Professional MBA Cross-Registration Instructions
Winter 2010

December 1 - Cross Registration opens
December 10 - Last day Cross Registration requests accepted (no exceptions)

Beginning Tuesday, December 1, all MBA students can request cross-registration in courses at other GSM campuses under these guidelines:

  • There must be a space available in the course.
     
  • The course fee structure for Davis and Sacramento is different than for the Bay Area.  If you take a course in either Davis or Sacramento, we will credit your student account with the $762 Course Fee Differential for each course.  Under the Davis and Sacramento fee structure, textpaks are included.  Textbooks, parking, meals, refreshments and other costs are not included.
    • Once cross registration is open, the on-line payment system will automatically deduct the $762 Course Differential Fee from your total payment amount at the time of payment.  You will not have to wait for a refund.
    • The $762 credit will be posted to your account approximately the third week of the quarter.
    • If you receive a billing notification prior to the third week of the quarter for $762, you can ignore it.
    • If you paid the full amount for a Bay Area course and are changing to a cross registration course, a refund will processed during the third week of the quarter.

  • Beginning December 1:
    • Cross Registration requests must come through the GSM Payment System.  Do not email the GSM Registrar directly.  The payment system will notify the GSM Registrar.
    • Do NOT make a cross registration request prior to the opening of cross registration.  The course fee differential will NOT be deducted from your payment if you pay prior to the opening of the cross registration process.
    •  If you are paying for an additional course for cross registration, access the GSM Payment System to pay for the additional course.  The number of courses requested needs to be the total number for the quarter.  (i.e. If you have already paid for 2 courses, put 3 in the number of courses.)  Once you have paid for the course, an email will be automatically generated by the payment system to the GSM Registrar with your cross registration information.
    • If we receive more requests than there are spaces available, spaces are allocated based on your total completed units (units in progress are not counted).  Students with the most completed units will be enrolled first and so on. 
      • If you do not make your cross registration request on the first day of cross registration, it will not be possible to allow students with high unit totals to have priority.
         
  • Beginning Tuesday, December 8:
    • Once it has been verified that space is available in the course requested and that you have paid for the course, you will be registered and your registration status will be confirmed via e-mail by the GSM Registrar.
      •  Drop deadlines for Day and Sacramento courses are different and you need to refer to the Sacramento Academic Calendar to make sure you are aware of the deadlines.  The Sacramento drop deadlines apply to the Day courses.

  • Thursday, December 10:
    • Last day to pay for cross registration courses.
    • Last day cross registration requests accepted.  Because of the number of departments involved in Cross Registration, it is not possible to process late cross registration requests.  The only exception to this deadline is MBA Consulting Center Projects.  However, you must be paid within 5 days of being notified you are on a team or you will incur the $250 late registration penalty fee.

MBA CONSULTING CENTER PROJECT COURSE FEE

Bay Area students pay for MBA Consulting Center Projects using Cross Registration.  Do not pay for the course until cross registration has opened or you will be overcharged.  Students enrolling in a Consulting Center Project course will have the $723 Course Differential Fee deducted from their course fee at the time of payment (once cross registration opens).   This fee adjustment is done manually and takes place usually about the third week of the quarter.  You will be notified via email when it has been processed.

If you are notified you are on a consulting center project after May 28, you will be allowed to pay without incurring the $250 late registration penalty fee.  You must pay within 5 days of being notified you are on a project or you will be charged the late fee.
