The Fall 2007 Orientation Day for new graduate engineering students will be held on Tuesday, August 28, 2007.

Attendance at this informational session is mandatory for full-time students and recommended for part-time students. During the orientation you will be introduced to the department chairpersons and faculty, along with the staff of the Graduate School of Engineering. You will also be given information that you will find useful as you begin your graduate studies. At the conclusion of the information session, you will be organized into groups by department and will then (or later by appointment) meet with your program adviser to devise a program of study. After your adviser has approved your course selections, you may register by following the instructions given in the Registrar's website. Classes begin on Wednesday, September 5, 2007.

The Graduate School of Engineering is prepared to assist you in your transition to graduate school. Please do not hesitate to contact my office for any help you may need. We look forward to meeting you in September.

Sincerely,

Dr. Yaman Yener
Associate Dean of Engineering for
Research and Graduate Studies

The following information should be helpful to you as you prepare for study at Northeastern:

1. University Health and Counseling Services
   All full- and 3/4-time college students, and all international students, must enroll in a health insurance plan. You are automatically enrolled in NU's chosen plan and will be billed unless you show proof of comparable coverage. Additionally, all students must provide proof of immunization and submit documentation of a physical examination in the last twelve months. Students will be blocked from registration until this requirement is met. Please contact the University Health and Counseling Services 617.373.2773, or see their website for further information: www.neu.edu/uhcs/.
