Fall 2021 Semester Information from the Friedman School's Academic Dean:

FALL 2021 REGISTRATION

Course Schedule and Registration Resources:

PhD STUDENTS

  • 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, FANPP, and NICBC doctoral students need to enroll in two semesters of NUTR 0404 (fall).

DUAL-DEGREE STUDENTS

  • If you are currently or will be matriculated in the Fall 2021 semester at the Friedman School (paying tuition to the Friedman School) 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. 

MNSP (NUTB) 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 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 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

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. 

  • Important: Tufts students may not cross-register in BU’s online 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.

  • Our cross-registration partners do not follow the same academic calendar as the Friedman School 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 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. Click here for instructions how to submit a cross-registration for a non-Friedman School Tufts course request via SIS.
