Cross-Registration
On this page you can find the tools to get started registering for classes at other BTI member schools. Cross-registration is only open to students currently enrolled in a BTI member school. The best news is that it is completely free!
CATALOGUE: If you are looking for the BTI course catalogue, click on the "Course Catalogue" button below (note dates for uploading the next semester's approved courses). Only the listed, approved BTI courses are available for cross-registration.
REGISTRATION: Once you have selected a course, you are ready to begin the registration process. Click here for a detailed instruction guide! (Coming SOON!)
If you are a NEW BTI STUDENT you must fill out the New Student Registration Form to gain access to the BTI Portal. Once you have submitted the form, your information and eligibility is confirmed by your home registrar and a BTI Portal account is created for you automatically. You will receive your username and password via email immediately. *Note: you MUST use your .edu address to register as a BTI student, and you only have to register to be a BTI student once - if you have forgotten your log in, contact us!
Once your request for cross-registration has been approved by your school's registrar, you will receive a second email notifying you that you are eligible to cross register through our portal. Cross-Registration exists on this website's BTI Portal (button below). Click on the portal, and fill out all requested information. After you click submit, all confirmation and approval emails will come to the email address provided by you in the New Student Registration Form. Not sure if you've been approved? Not sure if you already have a portal account? Please ask us before resubmitting this page.

Students who have used the BTI Portal previously can go straight to the portal and submit the cross-registration form. BTI Portal credentials can be re-used every semester.

BROWSE COURSES
We are working with registrars to gather approved course listings. As soon as we have the complete course guide it will be posted here. We estimate this will be on or around April 15, 2020. If you have any questions email btioffice@bostontheological.org. Each year, we aim to post the next semester's course guide by mid-April (for Fall registration) and mid-November (for Spring registration). It will be posted here both in PDF with full course descriptions and in a searchable Excel format.

New Students
Cross-registration with the BTI requires the completion two forms, the New Student Registration form (found below) and the Cross-Registration form (found on the Portal). The New Student Registration form is the first step towards gaining access to the portal and the Cross-Registration form. When the form is submitted, your information is sent to your home registrar and to the BTI. A portal account will be automatically created for you by the BTI system that can be re-used each semester. Your portal credentials will be sent to your school email address shortly after completing the form. If you do not receive your credentials within 24 hours, please contact us. Your home registrar will confirm the accuracy of the provided information and check student eligibility for cross-registration. Once you are approved by your registrar, an email notification will be sent to your school email address. You need BOTH a portal account AND registrar approval to Cross-Register. The portal credentials give you access to the cross-registration form. However, you cannot submit the cross-registration form until you have been approved by your home registrar and have received the confirmation email. Once you have filled out and submitted the cross-registration form on the portal, you are ready to go!
***DO NOT FILL OUT THIS FORM if you already have a portal account or have received one in the past.***
