How to Cross-Register for ProArts

  1. Explore the course lists on proarts.org to find available courses.
  2. The only restrictions to signing up for these courses are availability of class space and the fulfilling of course prerequisites. Since classes are open on a space available basis, you will improve your chances of getting into the course of your choice if you visit the Registrar or Instructor at the host institution early in the Cross Registration period.
  3. Pick up an application form from your home Registrar to be signed. The host school will not process you unless this is signed by your home Registrar.
  4. Take signed form to the host Registrar to enroll in the course. Registrar Office Addresses can be found here.
    IMPORTANT NOTE:

    If you are signing up for courses at MassArt, you MUST get the signature of the faculty member teaching the course FIRST before you visit their Registrars Office.

  5. Return your signed application form to your home Registrar

The form will be signed there on behalf of the MIT Registrar’s Office. You are not required to cross-register or be at MIT on MIT’s Registration Day. You may submit your petition before or after Registration Day, as long as you can obtain the MIT instructor’s signature and meet deadlines. The Student Services Center is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday 9:00 am to 5:00 pm and Wednesday 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. Forms should be delivered in person. Please do not put your form in the mail or give it to a classmate to deliver.
