SPRING 2021 PRE-REGISTRATION PERIOD

​The Friedman School's Pre-Registration Period begins at 9:00 AM on November 16 and ends December 1. Please log in to SIS at go.tufts.edu/sis and enroll in your Spring 2021 NUTR courses.

REGISTRATION TOOLS

PhD STUDENTS

  • Don't forget to enroll in the following courses as needed:

    • If you did not yet complete your Qualifying Examination requirement, you must enroll in NUTR 0399. If you passed your Qualifying Examination, you must enroll in NUTR 0403. If you do not enroll in either of these courses you will not be in 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.

    • If you are a BMN PhD student be sure to enroll in NUTR 0250, if you are a NEDS PhD student be sure to enroll in NUTR 0249.

    • If you are an AFE PhD student be sure to enroll in NUTR 0404: Food and Nutrition Policy Doctoral Research Seminar (two or more semesters required), and NUTR 0301: Nutrition in the Life Cycle (prerequisite: NUTR 0202 or equivalent), and complete an advanced analytical course selected jointly with your Advisor (e.g., NUTR 0394: Advanced Data Analysis; fall semester).

    • If you are a FANPP PhD student be sure to enroll in NUTR 0204: Principles of Epidemiology, and NUTR 0210: Survey Research in Nutrition (prerequisite: NUTR 0207 or equivalent), and NUTR 0301:
      Nutrition in the Life Cycle (prerequisite: NUTR 0202 or NUTR 0245 AND NUTR 0246, or equivalent), and NUTR 0404: Food and Nutrition Policy Doctoral Research Seminar (two or more semesters required).

DUAL-DEGREE STUDENTS

  • If you are currently matriculated at Friedman in Fall 2020 (paying tuition to Friedman in the fall) you need to use the cross-registration feature in SIS to enroll in your other school's Spring 2021 courses (e.g., PH, UEP, etc.). If you use the SIS cross-registration feature for enrollment in the courses that you need at your other Tufts school, the system will bypass the instructor approval and go directly to the relevant registrars for approval and enrollment processing.

MNSP (NUTB) COURSES

DIRECTED STUDY COURSES

  • Click here for the directed study course proposal form (Friedman's registrar will enroll you since you cannot independently enroll in a Directed Study course via SIS).

    • Deadline to submit the directed study course proposal form for Spring 2021: February 3, 2021.

    • 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.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

  • You need to enroll Full-Time each semester; full-time is defined as a minimum of 9 semester hour units per semester.

  • If you are an international student admitted in the Fall 2020 or Spring 2021 semester and located in the U.S., you are required to be enrolled in at least one Hybrid course for F-1 VISA compliance. Please contact Friedman's Registrar if you need help enrolling in a Hybrid course in the spring semester.

CROSS-REGISTRATION

CROSS-REGISTRATION – IMPORTANT ABOUT SPRING 2021

  • Are you planning to graduate in Spring (May) 2021? Do not cross-register in any HSHP full spring semester courses or HSPH second half of the spring semester courses. You may only cross-register in an HSPH first half of the spring semester course if you plan to graduate in Spring 2021.

  • Click here to review a more detailed overview of the cross-registration process. Friedman’s cross-registration partners (Tufts University, Boston Consortium - Boston University, Boston College, and Brandeis, and Harvard School of Public Health) do 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.

  • IMPORTANT: Some of Friedman's Cross-Registration partners cannot permit Friedman students to cross-register in any of their Hybrid/In-Person courses and can only permit cross-registration in the school's Online courses. There are no exceptions to these school's cross-registration policies. Please be sure to review each school's cross-registration policies.

  • Please be patient with the cross-registration process—most schools (including Tufts) will not review/process cross-registration requests until close to the start of the Spring 2021 semester.

  • Also, please note The Fletcher School does not have a pre-registration period so their courses will not be available to request via SIS for cross-registration until closer to the start of the spring semester.
