If enrolled in another Columbia University program, Columbia Nursing allows a limited number of students to cross-register in OPEN courses during the OPEN Registration Period. Students that cross-register in OPEN courses will be billed tuition by their home school, and need registration approval from their home school. *Barnard Students Note – Per Barnards registration policy, we’ve heard Barnard students cannot enroll in OPEN courses. Please discuss any questions on this with your advisor.*

Cross-registration requests have moved to Vergil, effective the Fall 2026 term. Cross-Registration requests are accepted two weeks before OPEN courses begin each term. Students interested in enrolling in OPEN courses may submit Registration Appeals in Vergil during the OPEN Registration Period. Exact dates can be found on the OPEN Program Calendar.

E-mail the Office of Student Services with questions on cross-registration.
