Registration is on a space-available basis. WNY Consortium cross-registration is not applicable during the summer. Cross-registration is not available for graduate students or graduate-level courses.

Christian College Consortium

Founded in 1971, the Christian College Consortium is a group of twelve Christian colleges and universities located across the United States who–through scholarships, conferences and exchange programs—serve the cause of Christ in higher education by encouraging and assisting one another in the pursuit of their respective missions.

Through semester-long Consortium programs, such as the Student Visitor Program, students from member institutions study at other Consortium colleges or on off-campus and study abroad programs.
