These guides are meant to prepare students for their first meeting with their academic advisor during orientation week.

In consultation with their faculty advisors, CSTM students may cross-register into courses at other universities and schools of theology through the following consortia: 

Note that 50% of coursework required for a Boston College degree must be taken at Boston College and that 50% of coursework for an ecclesiastical degree (S.T.B, S.T.L., S.T.D.) must be taken with the Ecclesiastical Faculty of the STM.

Students interested in taking courses, through the BTI or elsewhere,  are asked to bring the syllabus of the course they wish to take to their advising meeting.
