What is the purpose of GPACU Cross-Registration?
Cross-registration benefits students at Alliance member schools by expanding the number and kinds of courses available to them. Cross-registration supplements the course offerings at each member school, so that students may take courses that would not otherwise be available to them.
Courses at member colleges are not available to MECA&D students during winter or summer terms.
