Cross-Registration (PCHE)
Full-time Carnegie Mellon students may take subjects for credit through the Pittsburgh Council on Higher Education (PCHE). The purpose is to provide opportunities for enriched educational programs by permitting full-time paying undergraduate and graduate students to cross-register for one course at any of the ten PCHE institutions. Carnegie Mellon students should not cross-register for a course that is offered at Carnegie Mellon during the semester unless the associate dean feels there are exceptional circumstances. For many students, it is not advisable to cross register for any class in the last semester before graduation as final grades may not be available in time for certification for graduation.
Students who are registered as full-time Carnegie Mellon students will not have additional tuition charges, except for special course or laboratory fees for cross-registered courses. Carnegie Mellon students do not acquire status at the host institution but have library and bookstore privileges. Credit and grades are transferred directly to the home institution. Cross-registration applies to fall and spring semesters only.

Emergency Alerts
In light of the recent threats to various campuses across the Pittsburgh area, we are encouraging all students studying here at Carnegie Mellon, or those cross-registered at other PCHE institutions to register for the host institution’s Emergency Alert System. Registering will alert you to school and building closures as well as notify you of any emergency that occurs on the campus or in the vicinity. The following are links to each institution’s specific emergency alert website:
