FALL 2019 REGISTRATION VIA SIS

Log into SIS (go.tufts.edu/sis) to enroll in your Fall 2019 courses by Friedman's Add deadline: September 17.

FALL 2019 REGISTRATION RESOURCES

PhD STUDENTS

All NEW PhD students and continuing PhD students that have not yet completed their Qualifying Exam requirement must enroll in NUTR 0399 every semester. After passing your Qualifying Exam you must enroll in NUTR 0403 every semester until you graduate. If you do not enroll in either of these courses 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 do NOT have access to enroll via SIS in Friedman courses for Fall 2019 (because you will be at your other Tufts School), please use the cross-registration feature in SIS to select the courses you need to take at Friedman for the fall semester or you can email Friedman's Registrar at michelle.frankfort@tufts.edu with the Friedman courses that you need to take in the fall. If you are a new Friedman student accepted in the MS/MPH program and enrolled at the Friedman School in the Fall 2019 semester (and paying tuition/fees to Friedman for the Fall 2019 semester), you must e-mail the PHPD registrar’s office (phpdregistrar@tufts.edu) if you would like to enroll in Public Health course(s) in the Fall 2019 semester.

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 Fall 2019 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 (you may not enroll if you cannot attend the required in-person class sessions); click here for the Fall 2019 in-person class sessions (in Jaharis 156) schedule.

- Students may not use the mechanism of enrollment in a Directed Study course with a supervising Friedman faculty member in order to enroll in a course that is offered at a school that is not an approved cross-registration partner (no reciprocity) with The Friedman School.
 - There are two directed study courses that have been developed for second-year students if you are looking for an elective, email michelle.frankfort@tufts.edu to enroll:

CROSS-REGISTRATION

Click here to review the Fall 2019 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 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—some Tufts Schools do not review/process cross-registration requests until the start of the fall semester.

** Important to Note for Spring 2020 since it may change your plans for Fall 2019:
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. As a result, you may want to plan accordingly and review the HSPH Fall 2019 course offerings.

TUITION 

Fall 2019 tuition, semester fees, and health insurance is billed to your account in SIS and tuition is due the first week of August 2019. To avoid a late fee, tuition and semester fees must be remitted in advance of the first day of Fall 2019 classes (September 3, 2019). Click here for screen shots how to pay tuition via SIS.

Note: If you have a Hold on your account in SIS from the Tufts Health Sciences Bursar's Office or SAHA, you will NOT be able to register via SIS. You'll need to contact the Bursar’s Office or Lucia Fenney at SAHA directly to resolve the Hold so they may remove it from your account and you'll be able to register via SIS. Also, if you have a CUURENT Address Hold on your account, click here for instructions with screen shots how to independently remove this type of Hold.
