How to Register for Barnard College Courses

  • Cross-registration with Barnard will begin at the same time as cross-registration with Columbia. Please check in with us as the start of a semester approaches to find out the exact registration date.
  • Search for Barnard courses through Columbia's directory of classes. Classes at Barnard will be listed according to subject area, but Columbia's timetable will clearly indicate that they are Barnard courses. Make sure to take note of the five-digit call number, as you will need it to register.
  • For a course requiring instructor or departmental approval, be prepared to obtain written, signed permission from the instructor or departmental representative. You may use TC's special approval form, or you can ask the instructor/departmental rep to write up a short note indicating that you have permission to register. Bring the permission note to the Office of the Registrar at Teachers College (324 Thorndike) or fax it to (212) 678-3005. We will then enter the approval so that you can proceed to register.
  • Barnard courses are all undergraduate courses, and you will therefore need to complete the appropriate undergraduate permission form and present it to the TC Registrar for processing. Faxed copies are acceptable.
  • Once the TC Registrar has received and entered all necessary course approvals, you may register for a Barnard course online through the myTC Portal. Simply enter the five-digit Barnard call number when you are prompted to add classes; enter the call number in the same space where you would enter the CRN of a TC course. Make sure to save your changes and confirm your registration.
  • Occasionally, Barnard courses do not load properly in TC's system, and you will not be able to register through the myTC Portal. If you enter a Barnard call number and your request is rejected, you may register either in person in the Registrar's Office at TC or by faxing a completed registration request to (212) 678-3005. When writing up your registration request, be sure to include your signature as well as the following information on the Barnard course: call number, subject, course number, and section. Giving us all necessary course information will help us to register you promptly.
  • Please note that you will pay Barnard's current per-credit tuition rate.
  • Grades: Course instructors will submit grades to the Barnard Registrar. The TC Registrar will obtain your course grades from Barnard near the end of each semester as instructors submit grades. You can view your Barnard grades through the myTC Portal.
