 Spring 2015 Course Registration
Registration for Spring 2015 courses will open on November 14, 2014.The Spring 2015 catalog is now available on MyNEU.
Before you register for your courses, be sure to set up a meeting with your Academic Advisor to discuss your class choices. This will give you the opportunity to check in with your advisor and ensure that you are taking courses properly aligned with your goals and program requirements. Your program requirements can be found in the Graduate Catalog for your year of entry.
If there are course restrictions on the classes you have selected, please complete an Override Registration Form and submit to our office. The form must be approved by your academic advisor and, in some cases, also signed by the course instructor. Our office can process most override forms prior to registration opening; therefore, please submit your form ahead of time to 130 Snell.
