First-Year Registration: Second semester registration for first-year students is held in early December. At that time, first-year students will receive their second semester course assignments, a book list and a schedule of classes. (A reminder will be sent via email.)

Upper-Level Pre-Registration: Each quarter, the office mails pre-registration materials to upper-level students scheduled to attend classes during the following quarter. Students are required to pre-register by telephone or via the student's myNEU account (http://myneu.neu.edu). The office also runs the lottery, which determines the enrollment for limited-enrollment courses.  Click here for the upcoming upper level course schedule.

Upper-Level Registration: Course registration occurs each quarter. Students receive printouts from the University Registrar listing the courses for which they are pre-registered. It is essential that students attend registration to confirm that they have returned for classes, and to confirm or change permanent and local addresses.

Adding/Dropping Courses: Students may add upper-level courses during the first five days of each quarter. Students may drop upper-level courses at any time during the first three weeks of the quarter. (Click here for more information about the rules for dropping courses.)  All upper-level adds and drops during the first five days of each quarter are done using the telephone system or via the student's myNEU account (http://myneu.neu.edu). After the first five days, students must complete a drop form (click here to complete form) when dropping upper-level courses and submit the form to the Office of Academic and Student Affairs.

Independent Study: Forms for independent study are found in the Office of Academic and Student Affairs (or click here to complete the form) and must be signed by the supervising faculty member as well as Assistant Dean Bettye Freeman. Completed independent study forms must be filed with the Office of Academic and Student Affairs during the first five days of each quarter. All independent study proposals must contain a written summary of the proposed projects. Independent study projects may be granted for no more than three (3) quarter hours each. No more than three quarter hours of independent study credit may be earned in any one academic quarter. Students are limited to a maximum of six (6) quarter hours of independent study credit during their upper level academic quarters.

Over/Under Forms: Each student is advised to register for 12-16 quarter hours each academic quarter. In order to take an upper-level course load of less than twelve (12) or more than sixteen (16) quarter hours, a student must complete an over/under form (click here to complete the form) and submit it to the Office of Academic and Student Affairs. This is done in order to maintain residency status and to ensure that you are not taking on more than you can accomplish successfully. (Students must be registered for a minimum of 10 quarter hours per quarter and of those 10 quarter hours successfully complete 9 quarter hours of course work to meet the ABA residency requirement.)

Course Schedule/Academic Calendar/Projected Curriculum: The current Course Schedule and the Academic Calendar are sent out with Pre-Registration materials and are included in the Registration packet.  The current Course Schedule (once finalized) and the Academic Calendar are also available in the Office of Academic and Student Affairs (or click here for current Course Schedules or click here for Academic Calendar).

The upcoming quarter Course Schedule when completed is mailed with the Pre-Registration materials.  Copies will also be available in the Office of Academic and Student Affairs (click here for upcoming quarter Course Schedule).

The projected upper level curriculum is published in late winter quarter and is available in the Office of Academic and Student Affairs (or click here for projected upper level curriculum). 

Change of Division (Rotation)/Change of Status: This form is also available in the Office of Academic and Student Affairs (or click here to complete the form).  Deliver completed form to the Office of Academic and Student Affairs.  Requests are considered by a Committee during the second and ninth week of the quarter.  Notice of approval/denial will be forwarded to you by mail.

Change of Address:  The Office of Academic and Student Affairs needs your current and permanent addresses to mail all correspondence including evaluations and registration materials.  Click here to complete a change of address form.
