You can register for any class at any school if you go to one of those four.

I heard that is easier said than done, but you’d have to dig in to verify.

@TonyGrace is correct.

BMC and Haverford share a registration system and allow for automatic enrollment.

Swat requires some additional system enrollments and approvals from the “sending” departments for applicability to the major/minor etc. Our Haverford kid took 4 or 5 classes at Swat, so it’s very “doable”. Our Swattie took one or two classes at BMC that weren’t offered at Swat. It was pretty easy for her as well.

Classes at Penn are different animals. They usually require some combination of applicability and not being offered at the home school. It happens, but the number of kids who enroll at Penn from any of the other three is smaller than you would think having discussed it with any of the admissions departments.

The other issue is that while at Penn, the Tri-co kids are on an island…no dining priveledges, they need additional approvals for library admission, it takes a few hours to commute… I would tell anyone applying across the Tri-co to ignore the Quaker consortium when applying.
