 Immigration
Clearance and Course Registration
Newly accepted international students will be blocked
from registering for courses until they attend an International
Student & Scholar
Institute (ISSI) immigration clearance session at the beginning
of their first semester and receive their Immigration Status Verification
Form (ISVF).
The International Student & Scholar Institute will send
each new student an orientation schedule in the mail when
they issue the student an I-20 (or DS-2019) and/or inform
the student of Orientation Assistance for International Students
(OASIS). If you do not receive a schedule, contact the International
Student & Scholar Institute directly or check the orientation
page on the ISSI’s
Web site.

If you begin your studies in the fall semester, please attend
the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences orientation and registration
session. The date, time and location will be included in your
ISSI OASIS schedule. Please bring your ISVF form to the session.
If you are accepted to begin in any semester other than fall,
please bring your ISVF directly to the Graduate School of
Arts and Sciences associate director of graduate student services,
126 Meserve Hall. This will clear you and enable you to register
for your courses.
Once you have been cleared to register by the Graduate School
of Arts and Sciences you should meet with your departmental
academic advisor to plan your course schedule. When you have
agreed upon courses with your advisor you can register for
your courses using the Northeastern University phone registration
system or the MyNeu portal. Information on how to register
using the phone registration system is available in the Graduate
School Course Offerings booklet and online at: www.neu.edu/registrar/
Housing (on-campus and off-campus)
International students interested in on-campus housing
should contact the coordinator of graduate housing in the Department
of Housing and Residential
Life. Graduate housing is, unfortunately, quite limited.
The rooms that are available will be offered to applicants on a
first-come, first-served basis.
In order to apply for housing, a Northeastern University identification
number is required. This number is provided by the Graduate
School of Arts and Sciences Office. If you have any questions,
including those related to housing application deadlines,
contact the Department of Housing and Residential Life directly:

Physical
Examination Record, Immunization and Medical Care Plan
All international students must complete a physical
examination record and provide official immunization documentation
before registering
for classes. All documentation must be in English. English translations
of original documents must be official.
In addition, Massachusetts law requires that all students
maintain a medical care plan (including health insurance).
You may download the required “Health Report”
packet from the University
Health and Counseling Services (UHCS) Web site.
Students who do not have access to the Internet can contact
Northeastern University’s University Health and Counseling Services directly using
the contact information below. You should complete the health center
documents
and requirements prior to leaving your home country because historical
medical information is required. Forms may be faxed, mailed or
e-mailed. Health records from undergraduate institutions are also
acceptable.
The health services packet also provides information on the student
medical care plan (including health insurance), which is mandatory
for full-time, international students.
