GC3

Why should a NKU student take classes through the GCCCU?

• If they wish to take classes at an approved school while paying NKU’s rate of tuition.
• To avoid conflicts with the graduation Residency rule.
• If they wish to participate in the ROTC program at either Xavier or UC.
• If they wish for the grade to impact their GPA when it transfers back.

If a student wishes to take classes at NKU through the GC3 program, they should…

• Obtain a completed, signed Cross Registration form from their home school.
• If they have not participated in the GC3 program at NKU recently, they should submit an application at www.nku.edu/apply.html.
• If you have attended NKU recently through the GC3 program, you can contact the NKU Registrar’s Office at registrar@nku.edu, by phone at 859-572-5556, or in person to see if a new application is required.
• Once the student has picked up the Cross Registration form and has applied online (if applicable), they can then submit the completed Cross Registration form to the NKU Registrar’s Office, located in the Lucas Administrative Center, room 301.
  • The earliest the Cross Registration form can be accepted is during the first day of Early Registration.
  • The current Registrar Office Hours can be found at here.
  • A campus map can be found at https://map.nku.edu/#!UMAP_2016042711391.
    • Suggestion:  Select the Lucas Administrative Center from the Locations menu.

If an incoming student wishes to participate in the Financial Aid Consortium and not the Greater Cincinnati Consortium, they will want to contact both schools’ Financial Aid offices for details over how to participate.  The Registrar’s Office is unable to assist with the Financial Aid Consortium.  The NKU Financial Aid office can be reached by e-mail at ofa@nku.edu and by phone at 859-572-5143.  On campus, they are located in the Lucas Administrative Center, room 301.

Why should a NKU student consider the Financial Aid Consortium and not the GC3?

• If they would rather pay the other school’s rate of tuition.
• If they want to take a class at a school that does not participate in the GC3.
• If they do not qualify to participate in the GC3, but still wish to try to use their financial aid to cover the cost of the classes at both schools.

For details about how to participate in the Financial Aid Consortium, please contact the Office of Student Financial Assistance.  They can be reached by e-mail at ofa@nku.edu, or by phone at 859-572-5143.  You can also visit them in person at the Lucas Administrative Center, room 301.
