Registration

SPRING 2020 PRE-REGISTRATION PERIOD VIA SIS

SIS is open for you to enroll in your Spring 2020 courses.

SPRING 2020 REGISTRATION RESOURCES

PhD STUDENTS

All PhD students that have not yet completed their Qualifying Examination requirement must enroll via SIS in NUTR 0399 every semester. After passing your Qualifying Examination you must enroll in NUTR 0403 every semester until you graduate. If you do not enroll in either of these courses you will not be full-time enrollment status and a late registration fee will automatically be posted to your account in SIS and your loan deferments may be impacted.

DUAL-DEGREE STUDENTS

If you will be matriculated at Friedman in Spring 2020 (paying tuition to Friedman in the spring) they you'll be able to enroll in NUTR courses and will need to use the cross-registration feature in SIS to enroll in your other dual-degree courses for Spring 2020. When you use the SIS cross-registration feature to submit the course request for your other dual-degree school it will bypass the instructor approval and go directly to the relevant Registrars for approval and enrollment processing.

MNSP (NUTB) COURSES

Dr. Lynne Ausman, Program Director of Friedman’s Master of Nutrition Science and Policy (MNSP) degree program, provides the opportunity for campus-based degree students to enroll in select MNSP Spring 2020 courses as electives and you will NOT be charged additional tuition for these courses. MNSP courses are online except for two or three-days of required in-person class sessions during MNSP's Spring 2020 Residency (Boston Campus). You may not enroll in an MNSP course if you cannot attend the required in-person class sessions in Jaharis 156 during the MNSP 2020 Residency. The Spring 2020 MNSP Residency Schedule is still being finalized (the schedule is being updated) but will take place January 27-February 2, 2020. 

  • To enroll in a Spring 2020 MNSP course, complete this Qualtrics online form and Friedman's Registrar will enroll you in the Spring 2020 MNSP course via SIS by November 18, 2019.

CROSS-REGISTRATION

Click here to review the Spring 2020 Cross-Registration process. Friedman’s Cross-Registration partners (Tufts, Boston Consortium - BU, Boston College, and Brandeis, and Harvard School of Public Health) may not follow the same academic calendar as Friedman's academic calendar 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—most schools do not review/process cross-registration requests until the start of the Spring 2020 semester. ** Click here to check out Friedman Students' Cross-Registration (by Degree Program) Spring 2018-Fall 2019.

** Important if you are Graduating in Spring 2020:
Due to the differences between Friedman’s Academic Calendar and the Harvard School of Public Health’s Academic Calendar, if you are graduating in Spring 2020, you can only cross-register in a first half of the Spring 2020 semester HSPH course; you will NOT be able to graduate in Spring 2020 if you cross-register in a full-term or second half of the term Spring 2020 semester HSPH course.
