Registration Information
General
Registration is a multi-step process and has multiple processes, dates and deadlines to consider. 1L registration is managed by Academic and Student Affairs. 1L class schedules will be posted to the Class Schedules tab.
Clinics: Clinic applications and the selection of students is managed by the clinical staff and faculty. Students may participate in only one clinic per semester and must make a choice if awarded seats in more than one clinic. Academic and Student Affairs will register students for clinics based on rosters provided by the Clinics. Questions about clinics should be directed to lawclinics@northeastern.edu.
Reflections on Lawyering: The Office of Co-op and Career Services manages the application process for students interested in “co-op for credit.” Academic and Student Affairs will register selected students based on rosters provided by the Co-op office. Questions about Reflections should be directed to lawcoop@northeastern.edu.
Limited Enrollment courses: Limited enrollment courses have maximum seat capacities. To be fair to students currently on co-op, we utilize a lottery system for limited enrollment courses. Students will have 48 hours to complete a limited enrollment lottery selection form. Students who do not submit a selection form during the 48-hour window will not be included in the lottery. If students submit multiple entries, only the most recent information will be considered.
Academic and Student Affairs will register students awarded seats via the lottery and fill available waitlist seats. Students who were not awarded a seat or a spot on the waitlist may try to add themselves to the waitlist during open enrollment; ASA discontinues involvement in limited enrollment registration once open enrollment begins.
Open Enrollment courses: Students register for for open enrollment courses and remaining limited enrollment seats once the open enrollment period commences via the Student Hub. Students who register for courses before the open enrollment period begins will be dropped from those courses.

Course Drop Process
Upper-level students have the option to drop a course by the applicable deadlines noted on the University’s academic calendar. To drop a course, please review the Course Drop Instructions from the University Registrar’s Office website. Students will need to request a course to be dropped through their StudentHub. Students should contact the Office of Academic and Students Affairs (ASA) with any questions or concerns about dropping a course.
First year JD students enrolled in 1L coursework should not drop any courses. All 1L courses require completion for JD students to be eligible to move on to the upper-level.
Limited Enrollment Lottery vs Open Enrollment
Limited Enrollment
The limited enrollment lottery preference form will open to students at 9:00 AM on Monday, April 1 and close 48 hours later, at 9:00 AM on Wednesday, April 3.
The lottery preference form is accessible via the link on the Upper Level Registration Information page of the Academic and Student Affairs website. Do not attempt to conduct the limited enrollment lottery sign-up process via myNortheastern or the Student Hub.
If you complete the online form more than once, ASA will consider only the most recent submission as your preference submission. The online form will expire at 9:00 AM ET on Wednesday, April 3 and no late submissions will be accepted.
The limited enrollment lottery preference form will require students to indicate a preference when selecting courses with time conflicts.
Notes for Limited Enrollment
You will receive a confirmation email with a copy of your limited enrollment lottery preference form if submitted correctly. Check your spam/junk folders for the confirmation. If you received the email, you do not need to email ASA to confirm receipt of your submission.
ASA will register students awarded seats in limited enrollment classes and will fill the waitlist to its available capacity. It is possible for the number of students in a lottery for a limited enrollment course to exceed the waitlist capabilities of the University’s registration system. If you are not awarded a seat in the class or a space on the waitlist, you may try to add yourself to the waitlist only during open enrollment which begins at 12PM on Friday, April 5. Management of the limited enrollment lottery concludes once open enrollment begins.
Students who try to register themselves for any courses—limited enrollment or not—during the limited enrollment window via the Student Hub will be instructed to drop those classes and try again once open enrollment begins.
You will be able to see which limited enrollment courses you were admitted to or waitlisted for once open enrollment opens to students.
Open Enrollment
Registration for all remaining courses will open to students at 12:00 PM ET on Friday, April 5. Students will be able to see which limited enrollment courses they were admitted to or waitlisted for and may register themselves to courses or add themselves to waitlists (including for remaining limited enrollment course seats, if available).
Students register for open enrollment courses via the Student Hub. Step-by-step registration instructions are located on the Registrar’s website.
Notes for Open Enrollment
Students who try to register themselves for any courses prior to the open enrollment window opening will be dropped from those classes.
The last day to add a class is Sunday, May 19.
The last day to drop a class (Without a “W” on your transcript) is Sunday, May 26.
Registration FAQ
Account Holds: You must clear any financial or academic holds on your account prior to registration. If you have remaining holds, ASA will be unable to register you for any limited enrollment courses, clinics or Reflections on Lawyering (“co-op for credit”).
Contact the Office of Financial Aid, lawfinaid@northeastern.edu if you have a financial hold on your account.
Contact Academic and Student Affairs, lawstudentaffairs@northeastern.edu if you have an academic hold on your account.
Limited Enrollment Attendance: In accordance with our academic rules, students must attend the first day of classes for all limited enrollment classes to claim their seat. This requirement applies to students both registered in and waitlisted for the class.
Students waitlisted in a limited enrollment class but enrolled in another class in the same time block should attend the first day of the limited enrollment class but must inform the instructor of the conflicting course of their absence in advance.
Maximum Credits: Full-time JD students will be able to register for a maximum of 17 credits, FlexJD students will be able to register for a maximum of 10 credits, and LLM students will be able to register for a maximum of 16 credits. Waitlisted courses do not count toward your credit maximum. Students seeking permission to overload must complete an Over-enrollment form. The maximum overload for the full-time JD cannot exceed 18 credits.
If you are under-enrolling during a semester, you must complete the Under-enrollment form.
Join Waitlists: Once open enrollment begins, you will have the ability to add yourself to both limited and open enrollment courses where the waitlist has not yet been maxed out.
Waitlist Notification: If a seat opens in a class, you will receive the following email to your Northeastern email account from the Office of the Registrar with the subject line “Waitlist Notification – (CRN)”:
Dear Name,
A space is now available in the following course in which you are currently waitlisted: Course Title, Subject Code
CRN# *****
You have 24 hours from the time below to register for this course. If you do not register in this time period you will be removed from the waitlist.
Date Time
Sincerely,
Office of the University Registrar, 120HA Northeastern University
360 Huntington Avenue
Boston, MA 02115
Telephone # 617‐373‐2300
Once the email is sent, you will have 24 hours to register for the class. Please check your email on holidays and weekends. If you take no action, you will be dropped from the waitlist and the next student on the waitlist will be notified of an opening. Your only recourse will be to add yourself to the end of the waitlist. Out of consideration for your fellow classmates, we ask that you register for or drop the class as soon as you receive the email to help the process move quickly.
Enroll from Waitlist: Within 24 hours of receiving the notification email, login to the Student Hub and select the Resources tab. Step-by-step instructions are available on the Registrar’s website.
Clinic Waitlists: Students on the waitlist for clinics will be notified through the automated system described above if a seat becomes available after the open enrollment period opens. If a student is already registered for other course credits, they must first drop enough credits before they can claim the clinic seat.
Required Courses: Any student who is required to take a course should contact the Office of Academic and Student Affairs for assistance with registration. ASA will register students needing a particular course to comply with an academic plan.
Questions/Help: Students with questions about the course schedule or registration process should email Erin Brousseau, Director of Academic Services and Law School Registration at e.brousseau@northeastern.edu.
Questions about degree requirements or general academic advising questions should email:
For the full-time JD program: Matt Podgurski, Director of Academic Advising and Operations at m.podgurski@northeastern.edu.

- Because of the nature of client work and clinical education, the schedule for the clinics will be released at a later date.

Register for Non-class Credits: Directed Study, TA, RA, and Moot Court Credits
Beginning Spring 2024, LAW 7978 Independent Study will be replaced with LAW 7976 Directed Study.
Beginning with Fall 2023, the law school will utilize the Individual Instruction Registration Form (IIRF) to make registration for non-class credits more efficient. Step-by-step instructions to submit the form are on the University Registrar’s website.
Students should initiate the process by first meeting with a faculty member to discuss their proposed project. Once the supervising faculty member is secured, students will then submit the IIRF via their Student Hub. A workflow will be triggered to automatically secure the required signatures from the supervising faculty member and Academic and Student Affairs. ASA will confirm student eligibility for the Directed Study and the number of credits requested or contact the student if they are unable to approve the requested credits.

The Faculty Services Team manages the hiring process for students seeking monetary compensation for a TA or RA position (instead of earning academic credit). Submit this form to initiate the hiring process.
From the student handbook, a student may earn credit toward the J.D. degree for directed study pursuant to the following rules:
(1) A full-time law faculty member must supervise the directed study.
(2) The student must prepare a written proposal for his or her directed study which must be approved in writing by the supervising faculty member. The study must culminate in a written paper, exercise or examination, a description of which shall be included in the written proposal. After the supervising faculty member approves the proposal, a copy should be filed with the Office of the Dean.
(3) The student and the supervising faculty member shall agree on the number of credit hours to be earned for the directed study. The directed study required in order for the student to earn the agreed upon number of credit hours shall be substantially equivalent to the requirements of a course offering of the same number of credit hours.
