The researcher conducted interview with faculty, staff, and students from four different teaching and learning excellence centers at four randomly selected universities located in Northern Taiwan. The goals of this thesis were as follows: （1） To investigate the current status quo of cross-registration of teaching & learning excellence centers. （2）To investigate the implementation of cross-registration at colleges in Northern Taiwan. The researcher conducted literature review at the start of the research and established the interview guideline from the literature. The guideline was revised upon further review of three experts to establish content validity. Subsequently, the researcher selected 20 volunteered interviewees from four northern teaching and learning excellence and conducted interview following the interview guideline. The interviewees were asked to read and revise the transcript upon the finish of the transcript to assure accuracy of the data. Finally, the researcher performed data analysis and obtained the following results: 1. Staff has the basic understanding of cross-registration. 2. Students’ inclination, ability and the accreditation of credits should be factored into the type of courses offered. 3. The implementation of courses should be based on the difficulty of integration of long distance teaching platform and characteristics of students. 4. The selection of faculty should be based on his or her popularity with students. 5. The factors affecting the control of numbers of cross-registration students are faculty’s willingness, classroom space, the quality of classroom instruction and student’s rights. 6. Advertisement of cross-registration courses should include both animated and inanimate information. 7. The courses opened should satisfy the needs of cross-registration students. 8. Faculty should adjust their teaching style to fit the need of cross-registration students. 9. Students recognized faculty’s method of instruction, classroom management skills and instruction contents. 10. Students recognized the learning environment and results of cross-registration. Students’ motivation of selection of the courses is based on the contents of the courses. 11. Faculty recognized cross-registration students’ overall performance but urges them to interact more with each other. 12. Students were satisfied with the result, staff is not satisfied with it. 13. Students were not sure if they want to take cross-registration courses. Meanwhile, faculty were willing to open vacancy for cross-registration students. 15. The major obstacle was lack of student willingness for participation according to staff. Faculty believed that it is the inability to monitor students that hamper the process while students believed that the complicated process was the major blockade for cross-registration courses. The thesis offered three suggestions for teaching and learning excellence centers according to research results: I. Preparation 1. Build a platform for cross-registration 2. Establish committee for cross-registration courses to better coordiate teaching resources. 3. Control students’ course-taking for professional courses. II. Implementation 1. Enhance advertising by employing different methods 2. Create a feedback mechanism
