Registration for fall, spring, and summer semesters open on dates stated on the Registrar’s academic calendar. Any registration holds must be resolved by the student before they can register. Students are assigned a time ticket by the Registrar’s Office based on their credits completed and enrolled. An email notifies them when and how they can view their time in myNortheastern. Students register online with waitlists offered for many classes. Students can add online through the first two weeks of classes and drop without a W grade through the first three weeks of classes (for full-semester classes).
Students should consult their academic advisors if a pre-requisite or restriction override is needed for a course.
Waitlists are offered on most courses unless they are cross-listed with an undergrad course (per the Registrar). When a spot opens in a class with a waitlist, the first student on the waitlist receives an email notifying them they have 24 hours to add the course. If they miss their
window, it moves on to the next student. This is a university-wide system setting that is not customizable to our college. The deadline to add to a waitlist across all graduate courses is one week after classes begin.
At the end of add/drop, the waitlists are purged by the Registrar’s Office, and the late registration process begins. To be added to any course during this period, students must speak to the professor first to gain permission. Keep in mind that it may be challenging to make up the missed assignments, and permission is at the professor’s discretion. Upon approval, students can complete the Late Course Registration form online through myNortheastern. The professor will need to approve the request via an email notification first, then the academic advisor receives an email to approve the request before it is sent on to the Registrar’s Office for processing.
Students who are approved to enroll in a directed study, readings, project, or thesis course will need to complete and submit an Individual Instruction Registration Form online through myNortheastern. The instructor will need to approve the request via an email notification first, then the academic advisor receives an email to approve the request before it is sent on to the Registrar’s Office for processing.
An overload is when a graduate student takes three courses (12 credits) in one semester instead of the standard two courses (eight credits). Students can request this by sending an email to their academic advisor. An overall GPA of 3.50 or better is required for the overload.

The master’s thesis option consists of eight semester hours of research, culminating in an MS thesis. This can be accomplished through taking a project course CS 8674, followed by an MS thesis course CS 7990.
The student must find a thesis advisor who is willing to commit two semesters to working with the student. Once the student has found an advisor, he or she will need to complete an MS Project Course Authorization form. The student should work with his/her advisor to complete this form. It should be noted on the form that this course is intended to lead into an MS thesis.
The thesis proposal must be submitted to the Graduate Committee by the student approximately two to three weeks BEFORE the end of the project course. The proposal should describe the project, list the official reader(s), and be signed by the thesis advisor. (A sample MS proposal can be provided upon request to the student by your thesis advisor.) An official reader may be chosen from the faculty of the college, from another NU department, or from another institution or the industrial community when appropriate. Once submitted, the Graduate Committee may accept or reject the proposal, ask for revisions, or ask that additional readers be added to the proposal. Both the merits of the proposal and the academic performance of the student will be considered in deciding whether to accept a proposal for the MS thesis.
If the proposal is approved, the student will be directed to register for CS 7990 the following semester.
The thesis advisor guides the research topic. The result of the research is to be an original contribution to the field of computer science. The thesis should be developed in terms of the current literature and will include a thorough literature search and review. Emphasis is to be placed upon clear writing, logical development, and significance of the issues. Acceptance of the thesis requires the agreement of the thesis advisor and the reader(s).
The student will defend the thesis at a public presentation during the last two weeks of the semester. The defense will be directed by the thesis advisor, and the reader(s) will be in attendance. The thesis defense is open to anyone who wishes to attend. The candidate will give a lecture on the subject of the thesis, and this will be followed by questions from those in attendance concerning the results of the thesis, as well as related matters.
Upon acceptance, the MS thesis will be issued as a Khoury College of Computer Sciences technical report, and a copy will be archived in the university library.

Teaching assistants play a crucial role in supporting students in their courses each semester. Although the tasks of a TA differ depending on the course, responsibilities of TAs can range from providing in-class support and holding office hours to grading exams. Students can apply to become a teaching assistant through an application portal that opens up a semester before the hiring term. An email announcement will be sent by academic advisors to notify students about the application.
The submitted applications are reviewed by the course instructor(s) and applicants will be notified if accepted. Students may work for up to a maximum of 15 hours per week. Please note that students cannot be a TA if they are going on a co-op or internship in the same semester.
Students who are eligible to graduate in the cycle will receive an email from the Office of the Registrar with information on how to apply to graduate through myNortheastern portal. The graduation ceremony for the year will include the prior December graduates, May graduates, and August graduates (e.g., May 2020 ceremony will include Dec. 2019, May 2020, and August 2020 graduates). Summer (August) graduates do not have the option to attend the following year ceremony, so students must be cognizant of this when planning to graduate in the summer.
Students in our regional campuses will receive a separate email from their campus about their on-site graduation. Please check with your advisor if you wish to attend the Boston campus ceremony.
Ceremony information and all related details and deadline, guest information, and event schedule are available on the University’s commencement website.
