Please Note: Students may submit their application and registration forms together.

1) Complete the Assessment

If you have submitted your application prior to the start of the semester, you will be sent an acceptance letter. If you have not already scheduled a time for the placement test, please call 617-984-1710. Once you complete the assessment in English and Math, the computer will generate scores and also the titles of appropriate courses for these scores. The next step is to take your printed test scores to an academic advisor.

2) Meet with an Academic Advisor

You can meet with an academic advisor Monday through Thursday from 8am - 7pm and Friday 8am - 5pm to discuss your scores and create a schedule that reflects the courses appropriate to your assessment. Advisors can be seen by appointment (617-984-1710) or they also have an open door policy (Newport Hall 121). Staff in assessment can direct you to the nearest advisor should you decide to meet with them immediately following your assessment. To verify completion of the assessment procedure, new students must have an advisor sign their registration form to be presented at Enrollment Services whether in person, or via mail or fax. Once received, the "new student hold" will be removed. Students who mail, fax, or present their registration forms at Enrollment Services without both having taken the assessment and met with an advisor will be initially enrolled, but must complete the assessment process by the end of the semester to receive full student benefits. The "new student hold" will not be removed until verification of a meeting with an advisor is presented to Enrollment Services.

3) Register for Courses

New students need to complete the assessment, meet with an advisor and register in Enrollment Services. There will be extended hours for assessment and advising, both day and evening, during the registration period. If you have any questions please call the Admissions Office at 617-984-1710.
