REGISTRATION FROM ABROAD
• The Registrar’s
office will send an email to your Tufts account regarding course registration
for the next semester; thus, it is critical that you monitor your Tufts email
account while abroad.
• You may register online, through SISONLINE, at the Registrar’s website:
http://studentservices.tufts.edu/registration.htm. Course listings and
registration instructions are located on the site. Although you should consult
with your academic adviser regarding course choices, no “academic adviser
release” is required for students registering from abroad.
• You may, alternatively, register by email or fax by contacting Debbie
Carney-Mahoney at
Deborah.Carney_Mahoney@tufts.edu or via (617) 627-3848.
• If you are unable to register using either of the above methods, you may
submit the registration form by mail, in person, or by proxy (including: your
full name; your Tufts ID number; your email address; your telephone number; and
the call number, department number, section, and title of each class to which
you are requesting entry) to:
Student Services
Dowling Hall, Tufts University
Medford, MA 02155
It is your
responsibility to contact the appropriate department if you need to register for
high-demand courses. Remember that high-demand registration usually takes place
a week before regular registration.
If there is a course (or courses) that you absolutely must take the following
semester, you must make prior arrangements with the professor and/or department
in question, explaining your situation and asking that a place be reserved for
you in that course. Although admission to courses cannot be guaranteed,
selecting courses or sections of large lecture courses that meet at less popular
times, placing your name on a waiting list, and attending all classes during the
add/drop period usually results in admission to otherwise full courses.
Since most students returning from study abroad are seniors, the chances of
gaining admittance to courses are fairly good. However, it should be clearly
understood that you may not be able to arrange precisely the schedule of courses
that you would like, and you should take this fact into consideration in your
decision to study abroad.

COMMUNICATION WITH
TUFTS IN MEDFORD
When it is
necessary for us to contact you during your time abroad (e.g., concerning
registration), the only means by which we will be able to do so is through your
Tufts email account. Please ensure that you are either able to check it from
abroad, or that you have forwarded your incoming messages to an account that you
will be able to check on a regular basis. |

REORIENTATION
A reorientation program will be organized in January and September to facilitate
reentry procedures for students returning from study abroad. Information
concerning registration, advisers, and credit questions will be offered at the
reorientation academic advising session. A reorientation dinner will also be
held so that students may connect with others who are returning from abroad. An
email informing you of the date and location of these meetings will be sent to
your Tufts email account, or you may consult the
calendar of
events.
Additionally, all students who participated in Tufts Programs Abroad will be
invited to debriefing meetings at the beginning of the semester of their return.
These meetings provide you with the opportunity to talk face-to-face with the
staff of Tufts Programs Abroad about your experience on your Tufts Program to
help us evaluate the program you attended. You will be notified via email
regarding the date, time, and location of these meetings. |
