Registrar
For the Record - Student Edition
There are a few things you should do to make sure this semester starts smoothly:
- Review your schedule on eCommon, the only official source for your schedule.
- Check the add/drop deadlines.
- Get any registration permissions you may need.
- Make sure you don't have any holds – check eCommon.
If you're new to eCommon or need a refresher, check out the instructions available in our Forms & Instructions library online. Still have questions? Contact us – we're here to assist you!
Unrestricted vs. Restricted Add/Drop:
- Unrestricted Add/Drop (Jan. 16-23) - You may add/drop freely online. Read the Registration Instructions to learn about online registration.
- Restricted Add/Drop (Jan. 24-30) - You must have instructor permission applied to your account to add any course, and must add courses in person at the Student Service Center. Online drop is still in effect.
Receiving Registration Permissions:
If you do not meet the requirements for a course, or the course is full, you may ask for permission to register for that course.
Who do you ask for permission?
It depends on what permission you need. Review this chart for details.
How does it work?
When a permission is granted, the grantor passes the information to their Department Assistant, who will apply the permission to your account and direct you to register online or in-person.
Once permission is applied to your account, it is your responsibility to register for the course - it is not automatically added. See the Registration Permissions Instructions for more details.
ProArts cross-registration has begun – check individual schools for registration dates. If you are interested in cross-registering, please review the ProArts Registration Instructions.
Please note that ProArts courses are worth the amount of credits that they are granted by their offering institution. For example, a 1.5-credit Berklee course will be worth 1.5-credits at Emerson.
First semester freshmen and graduate students are not eligible to cross-register for ProArts courses.
Remember, on Wednesday, January 23rd we will follow a Monday class schedule.
