Publishing and Writing Fall 2013 Registration Information

On behalf of the Publishing department, welcome to Emerson College! We look forward to seeing you in the Fall.

As you prepare to begin the program in September, we wanted to provide you some information regarding course registration and timelines. This page is packed with information on the course registration process, available courses, and helpful general information. Please read through it carefully and bookmark this page as it will be updated in the future.

COURSELOAD

We recommend that students take no more than two courses their first semester, and only one course if you will be working full-time. You are free to take three courses, but we don’t encourage it if you will be working or interning or if you are new to the Boston area. Most students find it is better to spend the first semester getting settled in the program.

The department makes no distinction between full-time students (2 or more courses) and part-time students (1 course). Your status, however, will affect your financial aid eligibility. For questions about financial aid, please visit their website.

COURSE SELECTION & REGISTRATION PROCESS

Because you are not officially matriculated until the fall, we will work with you to register you for your fall courses. This will happen during June and early July. In August you will receive confirmation from the registrar.

In late Summer we will update this page with more information on the courses, including a listing of available courses with a brief description, a registration form, and a course checklist that identifies the requirements for the program.

OTHER INFORMATION

Assistantships: If you have an assistantship, the department will be in touch before the beginning of fall semester about your assignment.

Internships: Please contact Career Services or e-mail the department's internship coordinator Jessica Treadway.
