Registration and Advising
Registration
Class Registration (Fall and Spring)
Discuss your course selection with your advisor, and, with permissions provided by the Graduate Program Administrator, register at MyBU Student. PhD students typically take between two and three courses (8-12 credits) per semester until all course requirements are fulfilled. It is permissible to take fewer than 8 or 12 credits upon conferring with your advisor. For example, the courses that you need may not be offered in each semester, or you may have an off-campus precludes a substantial course load.
