Admitted Student FAQs

 Health services

Massachusetts state law requires full-time students to submit a health report form to the university before beginning their studies.  This report must include documentation of a physical exam within the last 12 months, documentation of a tuberculosis test within the last 10 years, and proof of immunity to tetanus, diphtheria, measles, mumps and rubella.

Please download the the form from the University Health and Counseling Services's Web site. It should be returned no later than 30 days prior to the start of classes.

If you do not submit the form, Health Services will block you from registering after your first semester at Northeastern. If you do not receive a form by mail, or if you have any questions concerning the form, please contact the University Health and Counseling Services at:

135 Forsyth Building
(617) 373-2772
(617) 373-2601 fax

All full-time graduate students are automatically charged for the health plan.  If you have any questions about the plan, please call Student Accounts.

 Academic advising

Advising takes place at the departmental level.  If you have an assistantship, you must get your departmental advisor’s approval before registering; some departments require advisor approval for all students.

Assistantship recipients (teaching assistants, research assistants, and graduate school scholarship) should make arrangements with their department to discuss course selections with an advisor.  Once the advisor has approved the student’s course selection, the student can complete the registration process.

Please note that assistantship recipients must register for exactly the same courses that have been approved by the department advisor. Assistantship recipients must have their course selection changes approved by their department.


 Billing

You will receive a bill from Student Central shortly after you register for classes.  If you have an assistantship, please pay the balance of what is not covered by your award.  If you have billing questions, contact Student Central at (617) 373-2270.


 IDs and e-mail accounts

Part-time students receive ID cards in the mail following their registration.  Full-time students may obtain a student picture ID at the Husky Card Services Office at Student Central, 120 Hayden Hall after registration.  Fall registration begins mid-July. With a Husky ID, you can get an e-mail account at InfoCommons, 184 Snell Library, (617) 373-8755 or help@neu.edu.


 Parking permits

The Cashier’s Office, 248 Richards, issues parking stickers for Northeastern students who wish to commute by car.  To obtain a parking sticker, students must complete and present a parking permit application together with payment, a valid student ID, and the license plate number of the card that will bear the parking sticker. Parking permits can be purchased online at www.northeastern.edu/parking/.

If your address changes, please update through MyNeu portal and notify your department and the Graduate School Office:

Registration

Registration enters you into Northeastern’s computer system and enables you to obtain your ID card, e-mail account, tuition bills, etc. Please note that you will be able to receive an ID after you receive a tuition bill.

Once the registration period officially begins (mid-July for Fall courses), you may register for courses online using the myNEU Web Portal. This system allows students to add and drop courses, confirm course registration, find room assignments, and obtain final exam schedules. The sytem works on real-time, so your course add or drop will be processed immediately. You should confirm your transaction before you log off.

Please note that international students must be cleared by the International Student and Scholar Institute prior to registering for courses.

Please contact your department to schedule an appointment with an advisor before registering.
