    FALL 2022 REGISTRATION

    Please schedule an appointment with your Academic Advisor to discuss your plans for the Fall 2022 semester and beyond. After meeting with your Academic Advisor, log in to SIS (go.tufts.edu/sis) to enroll in your Friedman School on-campus courses (course subject: NUTR).

    When you first log in to SIS you will need to complete the Registration Agreement (a new requirement from the Tufts Health Sciences Bursar's Office).

    Below is the Course Schedule, as well as additional registration resources:

    DUAL-DEGREE STUDENTS

    • If you attempted to enroll in a course at one of your dual-degree schools and could not via SIS, this means you need to use the cross-registration feature in SIS; this will bypass the instructor approval and go to the relevant registrar for approval and for enrollment processing. 

    NUTB (MNSP) FALL 2022 COURSES

    DIRECTED STUDY COURSES AND NUTC (CERTIFICATE) COURSES 

    • Click here to download the directed study course proposal form in Word format, and once completed email the form to michelle.frankfort@tufts.edu for enrollment via SIS.

      • Deadline to submit a directed study course proposal for Fall 2022: September 20, 2022 (this deadline is for students' submission; enrollment may be processed by the Registrar's Office in SIS after September 20).

      • The Curriculum and Degrees Committee has mandated that degree students can enroll in a Certificate online course via the mechanism of a directed study course (3 SHUs with a letter grading basis). One stipulation is that the directed study course needs to integrate extra graduate-level work (e.g., an additional paper or longer paper, an additional discussion leader paper, a literature review, etc.). The nature of this extra work is determined by the Certificate program director, Dr. Diane McKay. Dr. McKay will consult with the Certificate course's instructor(s), as needed, and can serve as your faculty sponsor and provide email approval for your directed study course proposal form (for a Certificate course you only need to complete page one of the form since a course syllabus already exits) and then you'll need to also obtain your academic advisor's and division chair/program director's email approvals and email the form and all of the email approvals to michelle.frankfort@tufts.edu so you can be enrolled via SIS and the documentation can be added to your student file folder. Click here to review the Certificate course offerings.

      • Important to Note (planning ahead): If you are a degree student graduating in Summer 2023, you must obtain advanced approval from the Certificate instructor confirming they would be able to email michelle.frankfort@tufts.edu a final grade no later than August 23, 2023 in order for you to be able to graduate in Summer 2023. The Certificate instructor’s approval email should be included with the submission of your directed study course proposal form for enrollment. If this is not possible, you should select an alternate course for your summer registration.

      • You may NOT use the mechanism of enrollment in a directed study course with a supervising Friedman School faculty member in order to enroll in a course that is offered at a school that's not an approved cross-registration partner (no reciprocity) with the Friedman School.

    INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

    FRIEDMAN SCHOOL/SIMMONS CERTIFICATE IN THE DIDACTIC PROGRAM IN DIETETICS (DPD)

    • If you were admitted to the Simmons DPD program and have not yet self-identified, please email Dr. Lynne Ausman and Michelle Frankfort. You will also be added to the Friedman School's eList for students completing their DPD via Simmons.
    FALL 2022 CROSS-REGISTRATION

    • Important to note: Tufts students may not cross-register in BU’s Online or Hybrid courses per the BU’s Provost Office (no exceptions) and also HSPH notes on their cross-registration webpage that Online courses are not eligible for cross-registration.

      Also, if you are planning to graduate in Spring 2023, you may only enroll in a first half of the semester HSPH course because the HSPH full-semester and second half of the semester courses will not be able to provide a final grade in time for you to be able to graduate in Spring 2023. If you decide to go this route, you will be shifted to graduating in Summer 2023 (instead of Spring 2023). As a result you may want to consider cross-registering in an HSPH course in the Fall 2022 semester.

    • Friedman’s cross-registration partners in the fall and spring semesters include: Tufts University Schools, Boston Consortium Schools (Boston University, Boston College, and Brandeis), and Harvard School of Public Health. Click here to review in detail each cross-registration partner's policies and processes. You may not cross-register in the summer at any Tufts Schools (besides Tufts Public Health) or at HSPH, Brandeis, Boston University, and Boston College in the summer semester or you will incur the Host school's tuition charge; these cross-registration partnerships are limited to the Fall and Spring semesters only.

    • Our cross-registration partners do not follow the same academic calendar as the Friedman School so please be sure to review the Host school's academic calendar for their add/drop deadlines, and other academic dates and deadlines, final exams, and holidays.

    • Please be patient with the cross-registration process—cross-registration partner schools will not review/approve cross-registration requests until early September 2022.

    • Also, please note when submitting a Fall 2022 cross-registration request via SIS that your request will not be instantly approved since Tufts Host Schools will approve your request closer to the start of the semester but at least you can be in the pipeline with your cross-registration request. If you are not able to submit a request for a Tufts Arts, Sciences and Engineering School course or for a Fletcher School course it means you will need to check back since these schools have not yet made their courses available in SIS because their students register for their Fall 2022 classes later than Friedman School students. Click here for instructions how to submit a cross-registration for a non-Friedman School Tufts course request via SIS.
