Registration

Important to Note: The University has not yet announced its finalized plans for the Fall 2021 semester. Since the Friedman's School's Pre-Registration Period begins April 5 and ends April 20, you will see for now that our Fall 2021 courses in SIS are listed with an "Online" Instruction Mode. Once the University announces its definitive plans for fall, we will update our courses' current online instruction mode as needed.

Below are details about NUTR courses, as well as select courses available for summer registration, and information about cross-registration.

FALL 2021 REGISTRATION
Please log in to SIS at go.tufts.edu/sis and enroll in your Fall 2021 NUTR courses.

Course Schedule and Registration Resources:

PhD STUDENTS

  • If you need to take Grant Writing in Summer 2021, please enroll in NUTR 0400 via SIS.

  • Please enroll in NUTR 0399 if you did not yet complete your Qualifying Examination requirement and enroll in NUTR 0403 if you passed your Qualifying Examination. If you do not enroll in either of these courses, you will risk a late registration fee and your loan deferments may be impacted.

  • NEDS students need to also enroll in NUTR 0249. BMN students need to also enroll in NUTR 0250. AFE and FANPP students need to enroll in two semesters of NUTR 0404 (fall).

DUAL-DEGREE STUDENTS

  • If you are currently matriculated at Friedman (paying tuition to Friedman) you need to use the cross-registration feature in SIS to enroll in your other school's Fall 2021 courses (e.g., PH, UEP, etc.). This will bypass the instructor approval and go to the relevant registrars for approval/enrollment processing. Note: Tufts Public Health's registration period for Summer 2021 courses begins at 12:00 PM on April 5 and their registration period for Fall 2021 courses begins at 12:00 PM on May 10. AS&E's registration period begins April 26.

MNSP (NUTB) SUMMER 2021 & FALL 2021 COURSES

DIRECTED STUDY 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 the directed study course proposal for Summer 2021: June 1, 2021.

    • Deadline to submit the directed study course proposal form for Fall 2021: September 22, 2021.

    • 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.

    • You 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's not an approved cross-registration partner (no reciprocity) with the Friedman School.

FRIEDMAN SUMMER 2021 COURSES 

SUMMER 2021 CROSS-REGISTRATION

  • In the summer semester, you cannot cross-register with any of our Tufts schools cross-registration partners except with Tufts Public Health (you will not be billed tuition if you cross-register for a Tufts Public Health course in the summer). Also, you cannot cross-register in the summer semester with Boston College, Boston University, Brandeis, or Harvard School of Public Health. 
  • Click here to review the Summer 2021 Public Health course offerings. Please note Public Health's registration period for Summer 2021 courses begins at 12:00 PM on April 5. Additionally, cross-registration requests by non-MS/MPH students will be reviewed/approved by Tufts Public Health's Registrar's Office right before the first day of the summer course. Please have a "plan B" course option in mind in the event that Tufts Public Health's Registrar's Office is not able to approve your cross-registration request due to course capacity constraints. Click here for instructions how to submit a cross-registration request for a Tufts Public Health course via SIS.

FALL 2021 CROSS-REGISTRATION

  • 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.

  • Our cross-registration partners do not follow the same academic calendar as Friedman so please be sure to review their 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 2021.

  • Also, please note when submitting a Fall 2021 cross-registration request via SIS that the Tufts Public Health registration period begins May 10 and Tufts Arts Sciences & Engineering's (AS&E) registration period begins April 26. The Fletcher School's registration period for their Fall 2021 courses is in August 2021 so Fletcher courses will not be visible to request via SIS for cross-registration until later in the summer.
