Fletcher Students

Fletcher students in the following degree programs are eligible to cross-register: MGA, MALD, MIB, MA, LLM, MATA, CSPP, PhD, and EPP. Students attending Fletcher on an exchange semester are eligible for cross-registration. Credit restrictions apply by degree program and for each semester of enrollment, as outlined below. Students in online degree programs are not permitted to cross-register.
