Administrative Procedures for Tufts Programs
Abroad
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. |
