Welcome to the inaugural issue of the Graduate Student News. Produced bi-weekly by the Office of Graduate Student Life, the News is an e-newsletter of University activities and information relevant to Graduate Students and will highlight the Graduate Student Government.
The graduate student population at Northeastern is wide and varied. Students are pursuing Master's and Doctoral Degrees in more than 165 programs on a full-time or part-time basis, face-to-face in Boston, online and at our Graduate Campuses in Charlotte and Seattle. This rich community of learners and scholars adds to the fabric and vitality of the University. In addition to their work in the lab/office/classroom or studio, students are encouraged to become engaged with the University. Be sure to check out the Upcoming Events section below including President Aoun's State of the University event on Tuesday, October 22.
Regardless of your location, in addition to the academic and support services through specific graduate programs/schools/colleges, graduate students are encouraged to take advantage of the numerous opportunities available through the University. |

Tickets to Men's and Women's Basketball and Hockey home games are included in the Sports and Recreation fee paid by full-time graduate students. To claim tickets for any home hockey or basketball game, students have two options:
1. Present your Husky ID card at the designated Student Sports Pass window at each venue on the day of the game.
2. One week prior to each event, reserve your ticket through the Ticket Center channel on myNEU or at the Ell Hall Box Office.
All students are encouraged to claim tickets online and print out the tickets in advance to avoid waiting in lines at the arena. Also, students that have tickets in advance are encouraged to enter the arena using the red door at the zamboni entrance (directly across from the Gainsborough Parking Garage).
Part time, CPS, Law, and Evening Graduate students have the option to purchase tickets to individual games or purchase the Sports & Recreation Pass if you would like full access to student tickets. Please contact Student Financial Services to purchase the pass. |
