Northeastern University

Steps for cross-registration for students registered at Northeastern University:

1.    Some GCWS courses will have corresponding course numbers in the NEU catalogue while students will register for others as a WGSS Topics Course (WMNS 7900).  Please consult Kiki Samko, Program Coordinator for the Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies program at NEU, for the current course numbers.

2.    NEU students need to complete a registration form specific to the GCWS by acquiring an advisor’s signature and the signature of Kiki Samko, Program Coordinator for WGSS.  The completed form will be scanned and emailed to the GCWS Program Manager. 

3.    When the course is finished, grades will be sent by the GCWS Program Manager to Kiki. She will provide the final grade via email to the NEU faculty member overseeing the course or directly to the office of the registrar in the case that there is no NEU faculty member overseeing the course. The faculty member or Kiki will be responsible for reporting grades to the NEU registrar via change-of-grade form if the MIT grading deadline is after the NEU grading deadline. The grade is then posted on students’ NEU transcript. (In the interim time between NEU’s grading deadline and receiving the GCWS grade, students will have an IP grade on their transcript.)

4.    GCWS courses will normally carry elective credit for graduate students, but details need to be determined in consultation with the students’ graduate committees.

5.    Note that students who are planning to finish a degree the semester in which they are enrolled in a GCWS course have to contact the GCWS Program Manager and the course instructors at the beginning of the semester with their graduation and grade deadline date. The grade deadlines of both institutions may not coincide and, depending on the semester, these students may need to submit work for early evaluation by the instructors in order to graduate on time.
