Resources
The Graduate Academic Catalog contains administrative policies, academic curricula, and course descriptions. Please note that individual programs may also have their own handbooks, and students should refer to them for more specific information.
Search for courses and register via the Student Hub portal. If you are unsure of the courses in which to enroll, review the Academic Catalog and consult the Graduate Program Administrator for your program.
Visit the Registrar’s website for detailed class registration instructions.
Carefully review the Registrar’s Office’s Academic Calendar for important dates.
Update your address in the Student Hub portal.
For more information about scholarships and awards available to CSSH students, see the Financial Aid and Awards web page.
If you have an award or scholarship, please note that Student Financial Services posts awards and scholarships to student accounts after the close of registration. In the interim, you should only pay the tuition that you will owe minus your scholarship. If you have questions or concerns please contact gradcssh@northeastern.edu
You will receive an e-bill shortly after registering for classes. Students with assistantships or scholarships should pay the balance of what is not covered by the award. Visit the Billing and Payments FAQ and contact Student Financial Services with any billing questions.
All students are required to sign up for direct deposit. Please note that if you are a Stipended Graduate Assistant (SGA: Teaching or Research), your first stipend may be in the form of a paper check. To pick up your check, bring your Northeastern student identification card to the Student Employment Office at 175 Richards Hall (Boston) or 232 Mills Hall (Oakland).
U.S. citizens or permanent resident aliens who will be enrolling in degree programs are eligible to apply for federally-sponsored financial aid administered by Northeastern University.
