Cross Registration Available

Students from UCSF and Hastings can enroll in coursework for credit at the other school and apply it to their respective degree requirements. The Consortium coordinates cross-registration between the two institutions.  If you are interested in taking coursework at either institution, please contact Consortium staff. 

Faculty and staff affiliated with either UCSF or Hastings may also attend classes at either instituion.

Below is an outline of the process for enrolling in coursework for credit.

For Hastings students:

1.      Find a Class at UCSF

Identify a class at UCSF that you are interested in taking.
 

2.      Obtain UCSF Instructor Approval

Contact the UCSF Instructor and obtain Instructor’s permission to enroll (UCSF students have registration priority).  Email approval is sufficient. 

3.      Obtain Approval for Course Credit at UC Hastings

Complete the Non-Law Transfer Credit Petition Form.  Return the form along with a copy of the course description to the UC Hastings Records Office.  The Associate Academic Dean must grant permission before you can enroll in the course at UCSF.  (The Records Office will send your credit petition and course description to the Associate Academic Dean.)

You may obtain credit for a class at UCSF that is not “substantially similar” to courses offered here at Hastings.  (See Academic Regulation 2213)

Due to the difference in credit between the Semester and Quarter systems, the Records Office will calculate how many UCSF quarter units will transfer to UC Hastings semester units.  Generally, one (1) quarter unit is equal to two-thirds (2/3) of a semester unit.  You may apply up to 6 units of credit from non-law graduate programs toward your 86 unit graduation requirement.

4.     Enroll in Course at UCSF

Once you have been given approval to enroll in the course, contact the Office of the Registrar at UCSF.
