5-College Programs

Students who wish to pursue a major offered by another Claremont College may arrange to do so by fulfilling the requirements of the major at that college. Arrangements for pursuing this major must be made with an off-campus major adviser in the appropriate program. See guidelines concerning off-campus majors and cross-registration.

Students may cross-register within The Claremont Colleges when off-campus enrollments fall within the guidelines listed in the Policies and Procedures section of our catalog. Individual course restrictions are indicated in semester course schedules. Scripps College does not separately fund course costs, such as materials or travel costs, associated with courses at other Claremont Colleges.
