The following information is designed to assist you in answering questions you may have about starting classes. Please check this page for updated information as the new semester approaches.

Graduate School of Engineering New Student Orientation
Date: TBA

GSE Orientation is held each Fall to give new students important information regarding their graduate studies, information about campus life and living in Boston, and to meet their advisors to plan their course of study. After orientation and individual departmental meetings, students can then register for classes.

Attendance at this orientation is mandatory for full-time students and recommended for part-time students.

Registration for the orientation session begins at 8:30 a.m. Students should arrive no later than 9:00 a.m. The presentation will begin at 9:00 a.m.

During the orientation students will be introduced to the department chairpersons, program directors, and faculty, along with the staff of the Graduate School of Engineering. Students will be given important information that they will find useful as they begin their graduate studies. At the conclusion of the information session, students will be organized into groups by department and program and will then (or later by appointment) meet with their program advisor to plan his/her program of study.

After the advisor approves student's course selections, students may register through myNEU student portal. The course schedules are posted on the GSE web site for easy viewing. More course selections, from other Colleges within the University, are posted on the Registrar's website. Students must register for classes via the myNEU portal. For a campus-wide course schedule, academic calendar and other student services please visit the Registrar's web site.

International Students who have not received an assistantship are required to attend the ISSI orientation. Students will receive information regarding these activities from the International Student and Scholar Institute. Please visit their web site for further information: http://www.northeastern.edu/issi/orientation/events.html

The students who have been awarded Teaching or Research Graduate Assistantship will be notified of the date that they must report to their engineering department/program.

Students with a Graduate Teaching Assistantship award are required to attend the University-wide Teaching Assistants Orientation as instructed. International students with Graduate Teaching Assistantship award are required to attend the International Teaching Assistant Orientation Program as instructed. These orientation sessions are sponsored by ELC and the program details please view http://www.cps.neu.edu/elc/international_ta.php

Failure to report to the department on time and to attend all events for which students qualify or are required to attend, will jeopardize the student's Teaching or Research Graduate Assistantship appointment.

Please check the university divisions listed below for further information as you prepare for your study at Northeastern University.

The Graduate School of Engineering is prepared to assist you in your transition to graduate school. Please do not hesitate to contact our office for any help you may need.

We look forward to meeting you in September.
